First time posting in a long while, I know. Thanks to working long hours and still having most of my cake decorating stuff in storage due to moving house, my poor YouTube channel has been left neglected. 

I figured I would share my favorite cornbread recipe since it’s quick, easy, and gluten free, even though we’re no longer in “cold weather comfort food” season. But hey, it freezes well.

I wonder if this would work with my favorite gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe. Guess it’s worth trying. 

How to Bake a Cookie in your Cast Iron Skillet

One of our favorite ways to eat a cookie is straight from a cast iron skillet with a spoon. It’s as easy to make as it is to eat – just use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and spread it into a cast iron skillet with a spatula. Bake it for 20-25 minutes (or under bake it slightly for a softer cookie). There’s no need to oil your pan or preheat it. We used an 11-inch skillet and this oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, scoop your favorite ice cream on top and dig in!

Mmm, cornbread. 

The Easiest 3 Ingredient Cornbread

°

There are thousands of ways to make cornbread. We’ve seen it with avocados and bacon, with blue cheese and buffalo chicken, with cranberries and oranges and much more. Sometimes, though, you want to keep it simple, and this recipe is for those times. All you’ll need is three ingredients and your cast iron skillet. Find this recipe in the Lodge cookbook A Skillet Full. 

Elizabeth’s Basic Cornbread

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

1 cup white self-rising cornmeal

1 egg

Enough buttermilk to make batter very thin (about 1 cup)

Oil a cast iron skillet and place it in the oven as oven preheats to 450°F. Mix all ingredients together to make the batter. Pour batter into hot skillet. Bake for 20 minutes or until nicely browned. 

Love Cornbread? Our hometown of South Pittsburg, Tennessee is hosting The National Cornbread Festival on April 23-24, a two-day family-friendly celebration of cornbread and its many forms. During the festival, Lodge Cast Iron also opens its foundry doors to the public for free tours, where you can see exactly how we make our cast iron cookware.

I only need 51 more subscribers on my YouTube​ channel to break 15,000! I know, I haven't posted a new video in a very long time (life has been more than a bit hectic lately #excuses), but I plan to get back to posting regularly soon. I still have all those gum paste flowers to make, and I want to redo my "How to Pipe Roses" video.

Some of these I’ve been making since I was a teenager, and I’m only a decade late with the others. Well, technically I’ve never grilled a steak, but then I don’t have a grill, so...
