This sourdough skillet cornbread is comfort food at its finest—with a twist! It’s soft, slightly tangy from the sourdough starter, and baked in a hot cast iron skillet for that irresistible golden, crispy crust.

The sourdough adds depth of flavor that pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of cornmeal.

Whether you're serving it alongside a bowl of chili, a hearty stew, or just slathering it with butter and honey, this cornbread is sure to steal the spotlight.

It’s a fun and tasty way to use your sourdough starter—and once you try it, you might never go back to regular cornbread again!
