Easy Skillet Cornbread
Description
This cornbread recipe begins by preheating a skillet in the oven to develop a hot surface that promotes even cooking and a crispier crust. The batter is prepared by blending melted butter with sugar, then incorporating eggs, baking soda, buttermilk, cornmeal, flour, and salt for structure and flavor.
Pouring the batter into the hot skillet allows the edges to crisp up as it bakes at 375 degrees. The cornbread is done when the top browns lightly and the interior is set, usually about 20 minutes. The result is a bread that is chewy on the edges, soft inside, and slightly sweet with a buttermilk tang.
This cornbread pairs well with savory dishes like chili or barbecue and is a good choice for a simple side or snack.
