How to Make Skillet Cornbread

Preheat the oven to 350 to 400°F.

Add a little butter, shortening, vegetable oil, or olive oil to a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.

Place the skillet in the oven to preheat.

Prepare the cornbread batter by mixing the prepared cornbread mix with 1 egg, milk, and olive oil.

Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.

Once the skillet is hot, carefully pour the cornbread batter into the skillet, looking for a sizzle sound.

Place the skillet in the oven and let it cook.

After cooking, take the skillet out and let it cool slightly.

If the cornbread doesn't separate easily from the skillet, gently work a knife around the edge.

Flip the skillet and cut the cornbread into portion sizes.
