    I would like to know how to convert this skillet cornbread recipe to a 12 inch cast iron skillet instead of a 10 inch

      I certainly hope you have googled the area of a circle by now, but if not, it's roughly: 3.14 (pi) x radius of circle x radius of circle. 10 Inch pan : 3.14 x 5 x 5 =~ 78.5 12 inch pan : 3.14 x 6 x 6 =~ 113 or about 44% more of everything (113 / 78.5). So just add an extra 1/2 of everything (close enough) and cook a bit longer.

    I've been using this cornbread recipe for a while now and it always turns out wonderful...make ya wanna slap 'yo Mama - yes it will! Although, I use a half stick real butter in the skillet while the oven is getting hot and wait until the butter browns a little, pour my batter in, and wait exactly 20 minutes, yum, yum!!! Jimmy loves my cornbread and we had it tonight with pork chops, pinto beans, and spinach.

    I have made this recipe several times in the past month. Crunchy and delicious outside and moist on the inside. I sub in freshly ground popcornmeal and 100% whole wheat flour (best results with soft white wheat), 3TBS buttermilk powder and 1 cup water which I mix 1/4 c olive oil into. No crumbs left for our family of 7! One tip: don't let the butter brown too much in the skillet.

    This cornbread was great with chili. Although mine turned out a little salty on the crust, not sure why, maybe I didn't stir the batter enough?

    16 slices? Are you kidding? Maybe 8, but this pan would serve my family of 6 with not a crumb left!

    Being from the South (Louisiana) I love my cornbread. I made a homemade pot of vegetable soup and tried this recipe. This has to be the prettiest skillet of corn bread I have ever made. It was delicious also. It had a golden crunchy crust and very moist, tender inside. I definitely recommend this recipe and I will be making this again. Thanks for a great recipe.
