Savory Cornbread

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. 2
   Put the butter or other fat into a cast-iron skillet, place the skillet in the oven while it heats and you mix the ingredients.
3. 3
   Combine dry ingredients.
4. 4
   Lightly beat eggs and combine with yogurt. Add to dry ingredients. Stir just enough to mix.
5. 5
   Take the skillet out of the oven. Carefully tilt to coat sides with fat. Pour the melted fat into the batter. Mix well.
6. 6
   Transfer batter to hot skillet, smoothing the surface if necessary.
7. 7
   Bake for 14 minutes if you're using a 12-inch skillet, until bread pulls away from sides of skillet and is barely golden. If you're using the 10-inch skillet, it may need closer to 20 minutes, but don't overbake.
