IRON SKILLET PUMPKIN CORNBREAD
This Iron Skillet Pumpkin Cornbread is so good slathered with butter and drizzled with honey on top.
Pumpkin is one of my favorite foods and I can eat this alone with just coffee for breakfast or with any meal. The more honey I put on the better I like this bread. Of course, honey is another favorite food and goes well with the pumpkin. This bread says fall to me but it is good anytime.
