Skillet Corn Bread

I have fond memories of making corn bread from a box mix and then eventually from scratch with my Mom growing up. So when I heard that my local park system was sponsoring a "Corn Bread Contest," I decided to participate. The contest is located at the beautiful Historic Walnford Park, it has the original house, barns, and a working grist mill. It's a beautiful place to spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon. I'm trying to come up with a special recipe for this contest, but in the mean time I'll leave you with my tried and true skillet corn bread recipe. Wish me luck and I'll post my contest recipe soon!
