Skillet Brown Butter Cornbread

Skillet Brown Butter Cornbread

After making FOUR cornbreads this week and taste testing them, we have a winner! A very clear cut winner at that! Skillet Brown Butter Cornbread is the perfect side dish for any dinner calling for comfort food. Slather on some butter or jam! Heating the cast iron in the oven is key in this recipe. Once you add the butter it will sizzle and brown making the perfect are to lay your batter! I used a 10 inch cast iron which made a nice, thick corn bread.

Here is a photo of one of our taste tests! The winning recipe is on the right!
