Gluten Free Cornbread in a Cast Iron Skillet

After discovering that I am sensitive to gluten, I quickly switched to gluten-free flour in the recipe and found we prefer the gluten-free version over regular flour. However, it can be made either way.

Lodge Cast Iron Cornbread

We often use cast iron to cook most of our meals at home. We especially love our Lodge Cast Iron skillets. They are easy to clean and make an excellent cooking surface for almost anything.

Tip for Easy Cornbread in a Cast Iron Skillet

I like to preheat my cast-iron skillet in the oven before adding the batter. To do this, I place the skillet in the oven while preheating it. Once the oven is preheated, I pull the preheated skillet out and put about a tablespoon of butter in the hot skillet. Then, I place the cornbread batter in the skillet.

What We Pair the Cornbread

We love to eat cornbread with chilies, soups, and some cornbread dressing at our Thanksgiving table. Here are a few of our favorite recipes that we always make a pan of cornbread with, plus my Cornbread Dressing recipe.

• The Cowgirl’s Minestrone
• Green Chili Beef Stew
• Easy Chuck Roast in the Slow Cooker
