Cast Iron Corn Bread

 Mmmmmm. Savory. Just slightly sweet ... OR slightly spicy ...

If you're going to make cornbread, you need to make it from scratch. And if you're going to make it from scratch, you need to make it in a cast iron skillet. There are some pretty decent mixes out there. Certainly better than buying it ready made. But how can you make cornbread without fresh eggs? Without real sour cream? Without real butter?!

That skillet was my Grandmother's. It was a wedding present to her. That makes it about, oh, 100 years old or so. Yeah.


Heat the skillet on the burner to give it a nice brown crust ... then pop it in the oven for the cook. 20 minutes, give or take.


Oh yeah, that's fresh corn there ... Mmmmmm



Nestled in a bowl with some hot chile, topped with some freshly grated cheese.
OK, I gotta go now ..
