Cooking with Cast Iron

[AllChookUp]

DW loves her old-fashioned cast iron frying pans. Uses them for ALOMST everything.

I use mine for lots of baking applications: cornbread, frittata, baked bird, lamb roast, etc.
I love cast iron. I don't wash mine. I just use a stiff, dry brush and a clean, dry cloth.

Put some south in your mouth Cornbread

use a 12inch cast iron skillet.

2 cups cornmeal

2 cups flour (not self-rising)

½ cup sugar (very necessary)

6 teaspoons of baking powder

1 heaping teaspoon baking soda

1 ½ teaspoon salt

2/3 cup oil (not olive oil)

2 eggs

1 can drained corn

1 can chopped green chilies

2 cups buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400. Mix dry ingredients stirring well to incorporate all. Add liquid ingredients then corn and green chilies. Mix well but don’t overbeat. Pour into well-greased cast iron skillet and bake until golden and light brown on top.

I may have missed this but have you reseasoned the pan? I wouldn't try anything in it until it had been through the fire once or twice.
