Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a cast iron skillet. Turn off heat and set butter aside until needed.

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs together in a large bowl until light and frothy; stir in milk. Stir in cornmeal and salt. Add oil; stir until batter is smooth.
• Place shortening in a 10-inch cast iron skillet; heat skillet in the preheated oven until shortening is liquefied, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet and pour in batter.

• Remove skillet from oven immediately and cover with wooden cutting board. Use oven mitts to invert skillet and tip corn bread onto cutting board. Cut into 8 wedges.

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated.
• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the butter. Once the butter melts, add the cornbread batter and spread in an even layer.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
• Slice and top with butter and honey.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place cast iron skillet in oven and preheat to 450.
• In large bowl, combine cornmeal and milk and set aside. For best results, give it 15 minutes to soak. You need this time anyway so that the pan can get plenty hot.
• In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and oil.
• In a third (large) bowl, combine the flour, paking powder, and salt.
• Stir the eggs and oil into the cornmeal mixture. Combine thoroughly, and then add the wet stuff into the dry stuff. Stir until the mixture just comes together, being careful not to over-mix.
• Carefully remove the hot cast iron pan from the oven and rub the butter onto the bottom and sides. Pour in the batter and return the pan to the oven.
• Bake at 450 for about 25 minutes, until the center hits 190 or a toothpick comes out clean.
• Cornbread should slide easily out of pan. Cut into wedges (this is easier when it's upside down) and devour.

• Heat oven 375 degrees.
• coat 10 inch cast iron skillet evenly (spray or oil).
• Combine all dry ingredients.
• add milk and eggs continue to mix until blended.
• add melted butter or shorting (optional) mix well.
• Bake 25 to 30 min or until toothpick inserted in center comes out dry.
