Easy Skillet Cornbread

Classic cast-iron skillet cornbread with crisp, golden, bacon-grease edges.

Instructions

01
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
02
Put a well-seasoned 8-inch cast-iron skillet with the bacon grease in the oven while it heats.
03
Combine the dry ingredients, whisk the eggs into the buttermilk, then mix the wet and dry together.
04
Pour the hot bacon grease into the batter, stirring as you pour; leave enough in the skillet to coat the bottom and sides.
05
Pour the entire mixture into the skillet.
06
Bake on the middle rack until springy in the middle, browned, and pulling away from the sides, about 15–20 minutes.
07
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
