This Skillet Cornbread Mix is almost just as easy as using a boxed mix, and it's 100% whole grain. Great to give the mix with a cast iron skillet for a unique and useful gift.
One day I was reading the December 2011 issue of Southern Living and saw the cutest idea for a gift!
Start by buying a cast iron skillet then make your own cornbread mix... Ta-da!
Here is my adaptation of a great idea from Southern Living.
Make sure you attach a tag with how to make the cornbread.
