If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a well-greased oven-safe skillet or baking dish can be used instead, but the baking time may vary slightly.
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving. A dollop of honey butter makes a wonderful accompaniment.

    I love how versatile this recipe is. I've tried it with different herbs and spices, and it always turns out great.

  • Ashlynn Dubuque

    My cornbread was a little dry, so I think I overbaked it. I'll try reducing the baking time next time.

  • Lavern Zieme

    I didn't have kosher salt, so I used regular salt, and it worked just fine.

  • Breanna Williamson

    I added a little honey, and it was a hit!

  • Gisselle Hettinger

    The preheating of the skillet is key – it makes the crust perfectly crispy.
