Recipe Notes and Variations

• Make sure your skillet is well oiled and very hot.
• I even re-oil the pan and set the empty pan back in the oven for a few minutes to heat up again before I bake the second batch.
• Give the cornbread a minute or two to cool in the pan before trying to remove them to let them release on their own.
• Store in an airtight container.
