A few questions you may have…

What can you use instead of a skillet?

You can also cook your cornbread in a 9×9 pan, just follow the same instructions.

Why does my cornbread fall apart?

This recipe is made to be more crumbly as I use it in my cornbread dressing recipe. However, if you are looking for a cornbread just to eat as a side dish then I highly recommend my Boston Market copycat cornbread. It is delicious!!
