Hey kids, welcome to another edition of Cooking with Dad. Today, I’m going to show you how to make cornbread. There are different variations of this recipe, but I have one that I really like. Instead of baking it in an eight by eight pan, I’m going to show you a cool way to cook it in a skillet, which also makes for a great presentation. But before we get started, here’s a dad joke for you: Why was the corn afraid of Jimmy? Because Jimmy cracks corn and he doesn’t care. Ah, anyway, let’s get started.

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. While that’s heating up, let’s gather our ingredients. You’ll need the following: one and a half cups of flour, two-thirds cups of sugar, half a cup of cornmeal (I’m using white cornmeal instead of the more common yellow cornmeal for a change), half a teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of baking powder. I’ll include the complete recipe in the video description, so don’t worry about taking notes.

Next, we’ll need one and a quarter cups of milk. I’m using a one-cup measuring cup and filling it a little bit more than one cup to reach one and a quarter cups. You can eyeball it if you prefer. We’ll also need two large eggs, lightly beaten, one-third cup of vegetable oil, and three tablespoons of melted butter or margarine.

Now, let’s start mixing our ingredients. In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: the flour, sugar, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder. Mix them together well. In another bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vegetable oil.

Once the dry and liquid ingredients are mixed separately, combine them and stir until everything is well incorporated. You don’t want to overmix the batter.

Now, here comes the fun part. I’m going to use a skillet to bake the cornbread. If you have a 10-inch skillet, that’s great, but I have a 12-inch one, so my cornbread might turn out a bit shorter. Melt a little butter in the skillet over medium heat until it’s almost completely melted. Then, pour the batter directly into the skillet.

Preheat your oven, and then carefully transfer the skillet with the batter into the oven. Bake for approximately 35 minutes. You can set a timer to make sure you don’t forget about it.

Once the cornbread is done baking, take it out of the oven and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is fully cooked. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.

And there you have it—a delicious skillet cornbread. I hope you enjoyed this recipe and the little twist with the skillet. It adds a nice touch to the presentation. Thanks for watching, and God bless you.
