How to prepare cornbread in a cast iron pan

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and place a cast iron pan on the middle shelf. While you’re making the cornbread batter, warm the pan in the oven.

Brush the bottom and sides of the pan with melted butter once it’s heated. Handle the pan with caution; it will be quite hot. Pour the batter into the heated pan and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cornbread that is quick, simple, and tasty only takes approximately 25 minutes to bake!

What happens if I don’t have access to a cast iron skillet?

This jalapeo cornbread recipe may be made in any pan, not just cast iron. Instead, any oven-safe skillet or even a circular cake pan would suffice.

There’s no need to preheat a cake pan if you’re using it instead of a skillet. Simply brush the pan gently with butter, pour in the batter, and bake.

With cornbread, what should you serve?

This cornbread just screams to be served with a steaming hot bowl of chili! It would also go nicely with our 20-Minute Chili Casserole, which has just two Ingredients.

To add even more southwestern flavor to your handmade cornbread, make a batch of Ranch Fried Green Tomatoes and Texas Caviar (also known as Cowboy Caviar). It’s also a terrific option for any barbeque or picnic, since it goes well with smokey BBQ meals and meats of many types.

When served with our Chicken Tortilla Soup, you can’t go wrong. It’s also very simple since it’s cooked in the slow cooker! Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.

Is it possible to prepare it ahead of time?

Cornbread is best consumed the same day it is prepared. The cornbread will start to taste stale and hard after a day or two, so don’t make it too far ahead of time.

I bake it about an hour before serving to give it time to cool before slicing. If you have any leftovers, firmly cover them and eat them within two days.

Recipes for Bread

Contrary to popular belief, making bread at home does not have to be difficult.

Years ago, my grandmother taught me how to make Homemade Italian Bread, and it’s still my go-to recipe for a simple, soft, chewy loaf of bread for supper. Another easy recipe that yields amazing results with no effort is English Muffin Bread.

As easy as those breads are, quick Recipes for Bread tend to be even easier because they don’t require yeast or rising time. My readers rave over this Blueberry Banana Bread and my Pineapple Bread too. For something a little different, you can’t go wrong with sweet, soft Peanut Butter Bread!

Then there are the Recipes for Bread hearty enough to stand on their own as a meal for a crowd like this Pepperoni Bread and its variation, the Double Pepperoni Bread Twist. If cheesy bread appeals to you, you’ll love my Italian Herb and Cheese Bread for your next Italian dinner.
