Notes
- For skillet cornbread, preheat an 8 or 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven. Once batter is prepared, pour into the hot skillet and return to the oven and bake as directed, about 20 minutes, up to 25 minutes for an 8-inch skillet.
- For cornbread muffins, line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray. Divide prepared batter up amongst the 12 muffin cups. Bake in the 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.
