Easy, Healthier Skillet (self-rising) Cornbread

From Augusta Locally Grown

<p>If you don&#8217;t like sweetened cornbread and want to use your local self-rising cornmeal and buttermilk, this recipe is for you! If you don&#8217;t have applesauce or don&#8217;t want the &#8220;healthier&#8221; version, you can use 1/4 cup oil instead. For muffins, bake in hot, greased muffin pan at 450 for 15-20min. (makes 12). Make sure each cup is 2/3 full.</p>
