Skillet Cornbread Recipe | Michelle’s Home Cooking

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk until well mixed.

Crack the egg into a separate bowl to check for blood, then whisk it until broken up.

Whisk in the sugar, followed by the vegetable oil, melted shortening, and buttermilk.

Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.

Allow the batter to rest while heating the skillet in the oven for 10 minutes.

Add shortening to the hot skillet, then pour in the batter and listen for the sizzle.

Bake the cornbread in the oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
