The Most Delicious Skillet Cornbread

Preheat the Traeger to 400°F with a cast iron skillet inside.

Melt 2 tablespoons of shortening in the skillet.

In a bowl, mix together 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal, 1.5 cups of buttermilk, and 1 egg until combined.

If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to thin it out.

Pour half of the melted shortening back into the batter and mix thoroughly.

Pour the batter into the preheated cast iron skillet.

Cook in the Traeger at 400°F for about 45 minutes, or until browned and a toothpick comes out clean.
