Notes

  • If you prefer a little tang to your cornbread, then simply substitute the milk for buttermilk.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3 days. To freeze, wrap in plastic wrap, then foil, and store for up to 3 months.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet you can use any oven-safe pan including a 9x13 baking pan. It may take an extra 5 to 10 minutes to cook.
