Ingredients of Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread 10 Inch

There are some ingredients that have a significant purpose with this 10 inch skillet cornbread recipe. So, keep reading to understand the importance of each.

Yellow Cornmeal or White Cornmeal?

You can choose to use white cornmeal instead of yellow cornmeal easily. This doesn’t alter anything of the rest of the recipe’s ingredients. I always use a brand name like Marth White’s Yellow Cornmeal mix.

Using Flour in Cornbread

Using all-purpose flour along with cornmeal significantly reduces the cornbread coarseness. Historically, flour’s not included in the recipe at all, but in recent decades, it has become a common addition to make the final texture less gritty.

Buttermilk in the Southern Moist Cornbread

This recipe for buttermilk cornbread improves the moistness overall. Buttermilk also improves the texture and flavor. Buttermilk is a Southern addition instead of regular milk or water in cornbread. I always use the full buttermilk and not any low fat type. I’ve tried the low-fat buttermilk before and it’s not as good for cornbread.

Sweetness in Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread 10 Inch

Compared to other recipes, the quantity of sugar used in cornbread was tested repeatedly. It has been reduced down to its lowest level that still gives an enjoyable sweetness level. This is more of a Midwestern twist of having sugar, compared to the traditional Southern style of cornbread that typically has no sugar.

Baking Pan Sizes for 10 inch Cornbread

This particular recipe bakes in skillets or standard size baking pans. Here are some choices.

Classic choice is to use a 9 or 10-inch cast iron skillet.
Another option is to use a 9 inch cake pan.
Or, use a standard 9×5 loaf pan (aka a bread pan).
Finally, an option is to use a 7×11 casserole dish.

Cornbread Cast Iron Skillet Pot Holders

Also, you can acquire pot holders for skillet handles to ensure safety while handling hot skillets. Personally, I own a set and I leave them on the iron skillet handles when putting them away for storage. This approach makes them easily accessible when needed to use later.

Lodge is a timeless brand of cast iron skillets and other baking containers.
