- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, swirling to coat the bottom.

- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
For an extra-rich cornbread, try using bacon drippings instead of vegetable oil in the skillet and add a handful of corn kernels or diced jalapeños for added texture and flavor.
