Hi Susan!
I have a cast iron skillet, but live up north.

Mom's Cornbread
2-3 tablespoons bacon grease solids (not already melted)
1 cup white self rising cornmeal
1 large egg
1 cup milk
Put your 2-3 tablespoons bacon grease solids (not already melted) grease
in cold (well seasoned small cast iron) skillet and place it in the oven
WHILE preheating the oven to 400
I do the next step in a 2 cup glass measuring cup. It should be in glass,
and not too large if you do not have something similar.
Combine 1 cup white self rising cornmeal and one large egg until lumpy. A
minute or so after the oven has reached its desired temp (so the grease
will be hot enough for the next step), add 1/3 cup milk at a time,
stirring the batter well between each addition. Once the batter is well
mixed, remove skillet from oven and pour most of the grease into the
batter, leaving enough to lubricate the pan. You know the grease was hot
enough if it sizzles when added to the batter and again when you pour the
mixture into the pan. (This sometimes takes a few batches to gauge while
learning the technique.) Stir quickly into the mix the batter until well
mixed (but trying not to allow the pan to cool much) and then pour in the
hot greased cast iron skillet.
Bake at 400° for about 18 minutes, until edges pull away. I place a
dinner plate over the skillet and turn upside down immediately after
taking out of oven. If it sticks, your pan needs more seasoning.
Doug likes his middle soft, so we only cook about 16 minutes, his mom
likes hers dryer,so she cooks up to 20 min. Without sight, I would guide
cook times by desired result and play in subsequent preparations.
We butter (or smart spread) our tops and bottoms so they reheat better,
his mom slices hers in the middle and adds a pat of whatever
there. personal preferences.
Enjoy!
