Stovetop Cornbread Recipe

"We made this today- had a power outage but my gas cooktop runs on a generator. It came out delicious! I used shortening for the skillet, I was afraid the butter would burn. I will make again for sure!"

"This was a really easy and simple recipe for traditional cornbread. I don't have an oven or iron skillet but it worked wonderful!"

"Just made the recipe and it turned out great especially since my oven's out and needed something to go with pinto beans and ham. I had to improvise a bit because I didn't have the exact ingredients but followed the directions mostly. For the milk I used 1/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup 1/2&1/2 with 1 TSP distilled vinegar. The corn meal was stone ground which renders a bit of crunch to the end product. For oil I used coconut oil in the mix and in the pan. I was liberal for the oil in the pan. For sweetness I was used 2 table spoons sugar. The corn bread was cooked in an 10 inch ripping hot cast iron skillet with cast iron lid for 6 minutes with a few minutes rest. The corn bread was somewhat moist and held together well. It stayed at or around 1 inch thick. Given it lasted about 10 minutes eaten out of the pan I think its a winner. 5 stars because it filled the need, was quick and dirty and well received."

"I followed the recipe and found that it did not hold up to cornbread I have made in the past. Could this be due to the lack of regular flour in the recipe?"
