(Sweet) Cornbread Recipe

1 Egg

1 Cup Milk

1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil

 

I think cornbread is best made in a cast iron skillet… just a personal preference of mine.  It can be made as muffins or in another pan, but cast iron is the way to go.

Preheat oven to 350 and put a small amount of oil in a cast iron skillet.  Put skillet in the oven and leave it in to heat before you begin mixing.  In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients.  After about 10 minutes, remove skillet from oven and move it around to let oil coat the bottom and a little up the sides.  Remove extra oil with paper towel.  Sprinkle a generous amount of cornmeal in skillet for dusting the pan.. shake cornmeal around to coat the bottom and sides of skillet really well, then pour the rest out.  Pour cornbread batter in skillet and bake for 15-20 minutes until browned on top.

Remove from oven, then take a knife and run it around the edges of the pan.  Grab a large plate and place it on top of the skillet, hold it tight..then gently flip.  The cast iron, hot oil, and cornmeal combo give the cornbread an awesome golden crust. Yum! Now, cut a big slice and top it with butter….  It’s so good!

If you don’t already own a cast iron skillet, you need one! This is a great deal and it ships for free!
