Baking and Desserts • Greek
Description
Baking in a cast iron skillet is a tradition in the southern United States. The skillet allows for a better crust than baking in a regular pan. You can also use a regular baking dish or opt for a muffin tin lined with paper liners. This portioned presentation looks beautiful on the table and is convenient for guests.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the cast iron skillet in the oven to heat.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornmeal with sugar, salt, and baking powder. People in the southern United States love sweet cornbread. You can reduce the sugar to 1 tablespoon.
Step 3
Add lightly beaten eggs, milk, and melted butter (it should not be hot!) to the flour mixture. Mix gently by hand or with a mixer on low speed until all ingredients are combined, but do not whisk.
