Thank you Peter. I love cornbread too. When I was young, we’d put butter on it and it woud be dessert.
Meme says
Yum!! This looks so amazing and great for an easy weeknight meal. Question: what size is your cast iron skillet? I assume it would be a 10 or 12 inch to hold all that deliciousness but just wanted to double check. Thanks!!
Paula says
ohhh, I thought I put the size in there, Yes, it’s a 12 inch skillet. Going to add that in the recipe now. That’s for alerting me to that, Meme.
