    Cook it regularly, good to go to friends with soup for a meal. Filling, browns beautifully, moist and delicious!

    This was tender and tasty. I added some corn kernels and used Cabot extra sharp cheddar that I diced instead of grated. I don't have an 8 inch pan so I used a 10 inch and it worked fine.

    I didn’t particularly like this. I think I just like cornbread unadulterated. I thought the cheese and scallions detracted from the corn flavor that I love. I took it out at 25 minutes as suggested by Alex and it was nicely baked. I also used a 10 inch cast iron skillet (she calls for 8 inch) and the 10 inch worked fine.

    This was a great skillet baked corn bread. As much as I love making Barefoot Contessa's version for a crowd, the husband thinks it is more like cake than "bread" - and maybe that's why it is so popular? This version is a much more sensible size for us and the sizzling hot skillet resulted in beautifully tender, flavourful bread with crisp edges. Next time I might try adding some corn kernels to the batter but as is, it was a great accompaniment to her chicken chili. And I just had a split wedge buttered and toasted under the broiler for breakfast - yum!
