The Best Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread Recipe

Try my FAVORITE skillet cornbread recipe!

The church that we joined last year is a big proponent of its members doing life together. They have several different Homegroups to help us achieve this sense of community. My Homegroup meets each Sunday after church for lunch at the gorgeous farmhouse owned by one of our elders & his wife. We have lunch potluck style, hang out together, and have Bible study.

One of the first times I attended this homegroup I volunteered to make cornbread. I was excited to impress my new friends with an awesome skillet cornbread in the skillet I had just acquired from my sweet mama.

I started making the cornbread without checking my pantry first…jumping the gun is a vice of mine…and I realized that I had no cornmeal in my house.

Good thing I have honed my empty pantry cooking skills- remember my Honey Butter Roll snafu and my Bottom of the Pantry Dinner Hash??

After a little scrounging, this super moist Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread Recipe was born. Our Homegroup friends loved it and there was none left to bring home after Bible study. I call that a big, accidental, tasty win!

Skillet Cornbread Recipe

Cornbread Recipe Directions:

• In a large bowl, beat the rest of the ingredients together.

Serve this cornbread with chili or white beans, use it as a side to a southern meat & 3, or just melt a pad of butter on a hot slice & prepare to be amazed:)

Seriously, this is the best cornbread recipe that I have ever made (or tasted) and I really hope you enjoy it like I do!
