skillet cornbread

Pan-baked corn cake

Skillet cornbread is cornbread baked in a cast-iron skillet, which gives it a distinctively crisp, golden crust while keeping the interior moist.

The skillet is typically preheated with butter or bacon fat before the batter is poured in, creating an immediate sizzle: Nothing beats skillet cornbread straight from the oven.

A staple of Southern cooking.
