Step into my kitchen! This is how I make cornbread for my family, and this recipe has always withstood the test of time. It is easy to make and great with chili, soup, and served alongside a nice pot of ham and beans. I also use leftover cornbread in cornbread dressing and salad croutons. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Ingredients For bonnie’s cornbread

  • DRY INGREDIENTS
  • 1 3/4 cups organic all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of yellow cornmeal--martha white brand is best
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • WET INGREDIENTS
  • 1 extra large egg
  • 1 1/4 cup milk, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons real butter, melted

How To Make bonnie’s cornbread

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease the cast iron skillet with butter, and heat the skillet for a few minutes until it is hot. Note: I found that Martha White corn meal is the best for skillet corn bread.
  • 2
    Wet Ingredients: Whisk all Wet Ingredients together.
  • 3
    Dry Ingredients: Whisk all Dry Ingredients together.
  • 4
    Gently fold the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing just until all the flour is wet. I use a big wooden spoon.
  • 5
    Do not overwork the batter. Don't add more liquid. The batter will be stiff.
  • 6
    Spoon the thick batter into the hot greased cast iron skillet.
  • 7
    Bake in the 375 degree oven for 30 minutes until the cornbread pulls away from the sides of the skillet. Test with a toothpick to make sure the center is done. It will be a golden brown.
  • 8
    Slice and serve hot with butter! Tip: Store leftover bread in a ziploc bag.

    Here is how it looks right from the skillet! Enjoy!
