Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread
"This is sort of in tandem with my other cornbread recipe because I learned to make cornbread two ways: Hard, more fried-like, and cake like. This is the second recipe in the cornbread series, and is the harder, more fried type."

I am giving you 4 stars just cause it's an iron skillet recipe. I haven't made this yet, I have my own cast iron corn bread recipe that i love which isn't all that different from yours, but I just wanted to make one comment about the recipe. Never let your oil smoke unless it's because you are seasoning the pan. Once it starts to smoke, it's released a bunch of free radicals which is good while seasoning your pan and aides polomerization of the drying oil, and helps make a really hard seasoning shell. However; it's bad for using smoked oil to cook in, it creates off flavors and it's really bad for you to eat.<br/><br/>Fix that one bit and I'll give it 5 stars. -
Very simple and quick. Loved it with beans and ham :)
