How to Make Skillet Cornbread Ii

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Melt 1/4 cup of shortening in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Set aside, keeping the skillet hot.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups milk and 1 large egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Quickly stir in the hot melted shortening into the batter.
Pour the batter into the hot cast iron skillet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before turning out onto a wire rack or clean tea towel to serve. Enjoy!
