Skillet Cornbread: Substitutions
All-purpose flour: gluten-free all-purpose flour is a good substitute for flour. Yellow cornmeal. white cornmeal works well too. Granulated Sugar: organic cane sugar or coconut sugar are good substitues. Salted butter. unsalted butter works well! Buttermilk. You can replace the 1 ¼ cups buttermilk with 1 cup whole milk and ¼ cup sour cream or greek yogurt. Corn. fresh, cooked corn or thawed frozen corn are both great choices.
How to Make Skillet Cornbread
Like most of my recipes, this Skillet Cornbread is easy to make! It’s ready from start to finish in 30 minutes and only has a short list of ingredients. Begin by combining the dry ingredients (except for sugar), in a medium bowl. Then, whisk together the melted butter, sugar and honey. Next, whisk in the rest of the wet ingredients until smooth. Then, whisk in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. Once the batter is smooth, stir in the corn. Then melt the butter in a cast iron skillet, pour the batter in and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remember, the skillet cornbread will continue cooking in the skillet once it is removed from the oven. So do not over bake it.
Serve
Serve this bread warm with a slater of homemade cinnamon honey butter for a delicious treat.
