Skillet cornbread is easy to make and delicious served alongside your favorite chili or roasted chicken dish. I recommend using a medium grain cornmeal, not too fine and not too coarse.

Notes

I like using regular cornmeal for this recipe. Fine cornmeal makes the bread too soft and coarse cornmeal adds crunchy bits to the recipe. I find a medium grain is perfect. This is the one I use.
