How To Make Skillet Cornbread: Lightly grease a 9" cast iron skillet or square baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together the cornbread mix, 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup melted butter.  Pour into your prepared baking dish. Bake in a preheated 400˚ F oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
