Homemade Skillet Cornbread is a tip of the hat to the old fashioned recipes that stand the test of time. Good cornbread is great covered in butter and honey but may also be enjoyed plain or in a bowl of milk. This bread keeps well for days and is very filling. I have tried multiple methods of preparation and this one is my favorite. My family loves this fresh from the oven and covered in a local honey.
My husband says his grandmother would be proud of my recipe and that it brings back memories of his childhood where corn bread would be sitting on the table for the walk by and grab as you go slice. If you like good old-fashioned cornbread and have been looking for a good home cooked recipe, then this is for you.
