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.

Steps:

• Place four 3 1/2-inch cast-iron skillets in the oven. Preheat to 425˚ F.
• Make the cornbread: In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, corn and 1/4 cup oil.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Using oven mitts or pot holders, take the hot skillets out of the oven. Divide the remaining 1 tablespoon oil between the skillets, quickly tilting the pans so that the oil coats the bottom and sides. Pour the batter evenly into the skillets. The batter will begin sizzling right away.
• Put the skillets in the oven and bake until the cornbread is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 13 minutes. Remove the hot skillets from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool slightly.
• While the cornbread bakes, prepare the cinnamon butter: In a medium bowl, mix the butter, cinnamon, confectioners' sugar and almond or vanilla extract with a rubber spatula. Stir until everything is mixed well and is an even color (no streaks).
• Serve the cornbread hot or warm with a dollop of cinnamon butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk in almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet later on.
• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees with a well-seasoned 10-inch cast iron skillet in it for about 10 minutes.Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt and baking powder. Stir with a whisk to combine ingredients. In a separate small mixing bowl, mix eggs and buttermilk until combined. Add to dry ingredients.
• Carefully remove skillet from oven and melt one stick of butter in it. Add diced onion to pan and stir.Immediately pour batter into the cast iron skillet with the "instantly" caramelized onions and butter.
• Bake at 375 for 20 minutes until a knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Let rest for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a plate.
