Loaded Skillet Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place 9-inch cast-iron skillet in oven to warm it.
• Mix milk and cornmeal together in small bowl and let soak for 10 minutes.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Beat cornmeal mixture, eggs, and butter into the flour mixture until you have a smooth batter, about 1 minute.
• Remove skillet from oven. Swish vegetable oil in the skillet to coat; pour off excess.
• Pour batter into the skillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 23 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together egg and buttermilk; stir into flour mixture.
• Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or a 2-quart baking dish in oven. Remove skillet; swirl to coat bottom. Pour in batter. Bake until a tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Stir together.
• Measure the buttermilk and milk into a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir.
• Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined.
• In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup shortening in the microwave. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
• In a cast-iron skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons shortening over medium heat. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. (The batter should sizzle.) Spread to even out the surface. Cook on the stovetop for 1 minute, and then transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should be crispy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large cast iron skillet in the oven while it preheats.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and shredded cheddar cheese.
• 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:

• Over low heat, heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with a cover. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cornmeal, and nonfat dry milk in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg, 3/4 cup water, and melted butter. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients, and pour the egg mixture into it. Stir until just combined.
• Brush bottom, sides, and inside of skillet lid with vegetable oil; pour in the batter. Cover, and cook over low heat until top feels almost dry, about 35 minutes (check the bottom occasionally to make sure it's not burning; lower heat if necessary). Invert onto the skillet cover; oil pan bottom again. Slide bread back into pan, and cook 5 minutes more, until dry and light brown. Transfer to a plate, let cool slightly, and cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels; reserve most of the bacon fat in skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir onions until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes; toss to coat evenly in bacon fat. Pour in water and cover skillet with a large lid. Cook, checking occasionally, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add green onions, garlic, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make 4 wells in the potato mixture using a wooden spoon, revealing the bottom of the skillet. Crack an egg into each well; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cooked bacon and Cheddar cheese over the entire skillet. Replace lid; cook until egg whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine sour cream, butter, honey and eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk to evenly combine. In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Grease a medium ovenproof skillet. Spread half of the cornbread batter into the pan. Sprinkle cheese, bacon and green onions on top to create an even layer. Pour remaining batter and spread to cover the cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cornbread is golden and cooked through. Let cool for 5 minutes in pan. Slice, serve warm and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350*(325* convection oven, fan on).
• Heat 12" cast iron skillet in oven until it is quite hot, 10-15 minutes. When hot, oil pan with vegetable oil or cooking spray. (for less thick bread, batter is enough for two 12" skillets).
• In large bowl, combine eggs, butter, milk, cheese, sour cream and corn; mix well.
• Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Add to the milk mixture and stir until well combined.
• Pour batter into hot pan.
• Bake until golden brown on top and batter is "set," about 25 minutes. The cornbread may seem wet or moist, but will be somewhat firm to the touch. Let it cool in the pan, the residual heat will finish cooking the bread. (Sometimes it's done enough to eat straight from oven, when bottom is crustiest!).
• To serve, reheat in pan and loosen bread while hot with butter knife around the edges and turn out onto warm plate.
• Drizzle with honey, if desired. It's so rich, though, you may not need it!
