@LizzieInSRQ here you go...this can also be baked in a 7x11 baker.  Check at 20 minutes.

Basically it depends on the coronmeal to flour ratio.  If you want a more cake-like result, you want more flour.

If you are like me and want a grittier, crunchy result, then you want more cornmeal than flour.  And for that extra crunch, grease and heat your skillet or pan before you pour in the batter.  I want that crispy crust and crunch but some want a cake/bread like result.

Morrison's Texas Style Honey Sweet Cornbread Mix 16 oz at Dollar Tree - $1.25. It's NOT too sweet.

I love the Betty Crocker Cornbread and Muffin mix. So much so that I buy the case (nine bags) at a time when Amazon has it on sale for $5+. (Their price on it swings from $5+ to over $20 so catch it on the low side.) What I like about it is the lack of grittiness. If you want a grittier cornbread, it's not for you, but I love it.

All this talk of cornbread made me crave some, so I hunted in the pantry and found a pouch of the Betty Crocker!! 

That's my favorite and I will make it soon.  I woke up to snow (maybe 1-2 inches--NJ) so it will be my consolation prize.

@Ainhisg thank you so much. That does seem easy. If i substituted melted butter for the oil do you think that would be ok?

@LizzieInSRQ I have absolutely no idea--so sorry!

Preach it!

Gotta have a preheated cast iron skillet, well greased, so the cornbread will just fall out when the pan is flipped.

As a kid I was graded on how mine fell out.

My mom cooked hers on top of the stove. Got it almost done and filpped it with a spatula and it was always crispy.
