Easy Skillet Cornbread takes only a few minutes to make. Perfect served with a bowl of chili or alongside a roast chicken.
Place an 8-inch oven-safe cast iron skillet on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat oven to 425℉.
Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add milk, oil, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
When oven reaches 425℉, remove the skillet from the oven. Lightly grease it with a little vegetable oil. (Do this even if you have a well-seasoned skillet.)
Spread the batter into the hot skillet. Return the pan to the oven.
Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the oven. Carefully spread a little butter over the top—optional.
