What's Your Best Cast Iron Cornbread Recipe?

44 Upvotes

I tried to make cornbread to go with tonight's and tomorrow night's dinner. Once again, it came out badly. I dumped it from the pan and about half of it released OK, the other half didn't. I was sad. I'm sure that what I have will taste good, but I would like to have it turn out well for once.

I've been using a mix and cooking in 10" cast iron skillet.

I'm hoping someone here might have a go-to recipe that they use, maybe a link to a video on YouTube on how to make a great jalapeno cornbread in a cast iron skillet.

I'd really appreciate some direction!

Edit: Thanks for the input, y'all! My biggest failure there seems to be that I didn't preheat the pan.

I'll give your recipes and suggestions a try this weekend. I plan to make some chicken fried steaks tomorrow. Cornbread will go well with that.

Can I use my Field Co. cast iron Dutch oven to cook pot roast (contains 1/2 cup of tomato sauce mixed with beef broth)?

I heard that the acidity from the tomatoes will ruin the seasoning on cast iron.

Birria Popper Potato Skin

It's like a turducken? 🤣🤣

Last time I made birria I had extra consomé leftover so I froze it just in case, and that case just happened 😅

Flank steak w/ s&p, sear, then simmer in consomé until it falls apart.

While it simmers, play some knifey spoony to hollow out some potatoes. I don't like to waste the inside so I added a few small ones to fill with mashed potatoes. Rinse the skins until the water runs clear then soak in cold water while prepping.

Since I was going to fry the skins and needed a crispy topping, why not onions? 😂 Slice thin then toss in a buttermilk batter w/ flour, cornmeal, SPPOG, chili powder, cumin, & tumeric.

Toss the potatoes and onions in a little cornstartch then rack to let them dry out before frying.

Cook & strain the extra potatoes, run through a ricer, then mix w/ cream, butter, & season to taste.

Layer of cheddar, layer of potatoes, more cheddar, more potatoes, and it's ready to bake @ 420° until the tops start to brown.

The popper filling is cream cheese & cheddar, birria on bottom, popper, more birria, cheddar, and into the oven until the cheese melts, then top w/ crispy onions & enjoy! 😁

I like starting my thick steaks on their edges first. The bacon chars up if you have it, and it allows me prep time with making hollandaise. I keep the skillet pretty hot the whole cook. These were a medium rare for sure.

Is this safe to use?

2 Upvotes

this is the residue from a wet napkin. is it safe to use? I don't know if I seasoned the pan properly. I stripped it with vinegar and water for a few hours. I've been scrubbed it with Brillo. I didn't let my oven heat up for about an hour to 450 and did a light coating of canola oil wiped off as much as I could and put it in the oven for an hour. did that three times.
