Skillet Cornbread Recipe

This is southern food writer sheri castle's take on a traditional southern cornbread: skillet-born, sugar-free, and bacon-blessed. Some of her fellow natives of the mountain south will scowl about using flour in the recipe, but she adds a little to ensure the cornbread will hold together using coarse, whole-grain meal. Be sure to use fresh liquid buttermilk; it's integral to the recipe and the flavor.
