    Skillet Cornbread - a perfect addition to your chili or a hearty soup and made in just 30 minutes!

    This cornbread is perfect served with the Best Instant Pot Chili or the 20-Minute Chicken Tortilla Soup!

    Skillet Cornbread

    Do you know what all the bowls of winter soups and chili need? A good piece of cornbread. A nice comforting piece of a quick bread made in a skillet. And it really is quick! Made in under 30 minutes and you don't need any special equipment. Baking bread to go with your dinner doesn't get easier than this!

    Do you see how the edges of my cornbread are crispy and.... kinda rustic? That's because I melted 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet just before pouring the batter in! It makes it that much better! And the inside? Oh, so fluffy and full of flavor. It has the perfect balance of flour and cornmeal to make a fluffy piece but one that will hold it's shape and not fall apart once you cut into it.

    Serve this cornbread with Chicken Enchiladas and Black Beans and Rice for a delicious Mexican night dinner!

    • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
    • 1 c all-purpose flour
    • 1 c yellow cornmeal
    • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
    • Place 2 tablespoon of butter into your 10 or 11 inch skillet. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt).
    • In a small mixing bowl or a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together eggs, oil and buttermilk.
    • If your oven is ready, place the skillet inside for 2 minutes or until the butter is melted.
    • Swirl the butter around the pan to coat it.

      Your cornbread looks delicious, Anna! That's about the way I make it. Love it in a skillet. Sometimes I substitute sour cream for buttermilk, good!

      Homemade cornbread is so much better than the box stuff. This looks delicious. Longing to try that crispy edging.

      I do love that skillet... such a pretty pan to cook anything. I also adore cornbread with soup, chili or even some plain butter. Hope your weather is warm... our weather is getting cold again.

      Beautiful cornbread, Anna! I love the tip of melting plenty of butter into the skillet before pouring in the batter for a nice crispy-crunchy texture for the exterior while the inside is moist and fluffy. Thanks for sharing and have a fabulous weekend! xo
