- Sprinkle dry cornmeal over hot grease left in bottom of skillet. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes until top is nicely browned and bread tests done in center like a cake.
- Cut in wedges and serve hot with plenty of butter. This is great with chili or a thick stew.
