Homemade Cornbread

The main ingredient in Thanksgiving dressing [at least where I'm from] is cornbread!

So you might need a good recipe if you want to take a stab at making dressing. I've tried store bought cornbread to cut out a step of making dressing and I do not recommend it. Some is too sweet or has too much moisture to work well in dressing. This one turns out well each time I've made it - for dressing or as a side for a meal.

Cornbread really is better when it is made in a cast iron skillet. You don't have to run out and buy one just for this, but cast iron heat retention and versatility is notable. I use mine to make stove-top steaks and OMG do they turn out amazing!! Maybe I'll post that recipe/method later...

I also don't know of many widely-recommended pieces of kitchen equipment that last for generations and cost less than $30.00. Check out Lodge - not only did they start and still make their products in my home state of Tennessee, they have also been making cast iron wares for 120 years. A truly Southern staple!

2.5 cups cornmeal
