Cornbread #5

It's rainy, i haven't left the house and the 3rd load of laundry is being done. Tonight we have plans to meet up with multiple parties but for now, i'm sitting here in my sweatshirt happily eating cornbread batch #5. Maybe since the house is so cold i've been subconsciously wanting to use the oven. After some web surfing i found this recipe which looked good but most importantly, i had all the ingredients for. I'm actually very happy with the results. I halved the recipe, cut the baking time short since i wasn't using a huge skillet and i left out the onions since be hates them. The outsides weren't burnt like batch #4 and the insides were light but not too light, cheesy and slightly hot. I noticed that some cornbread recipes call for lower temps (350-375 degrees) and those tend to end up better than the blazing hot 425-450 temps. Maybe since cast iron is a great heat conductor i'm burning the cornbread since those higher temps are meant for regular glass or aluminum pans. I'm also glad to report that the cute cast iron corn and stars pans are nicely blackening so things aren't really sticking anymore.

The new rankings are: #3, #5, #2, #4, #1. I suspect be's rankings will be: #5, #4, #3, #2, #1
