Pouring the batter into a hot skillet gives this corn bread a nice crisp crust.

Skillet Cheese Cornbread

2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (14.75-ounce) can cream-style corn
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in oven to heat while making batter.
2. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk corn, buttermilk, eggs, honey and oil in a medium bowl until well blended. Add to dry mixture with cheese, stirring until moistened.
3. Remove skillet from oven and quickly spray with vegetable cooking spray; pour in batter (batter should sizzle on contact).
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
