Notes
For dairy-free you can use a dairy-free butter alternative or use palm shortening, but it will affect the flavor.
Alternatively you can place skillet with butter inside of oven to get the skillet hot and take skillet out of the oven, brush butter along sides and pour in batter. This will ensure extra crunchy and brown sides.
This can also be baked as muffins. Grease muffin tins with butter and bake at 400 degrees for around 12-15 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. This will yield about 18 muffins.
If you are looking for a more cake like cornbread, use 1/2 cup melted butter in place of the 1/4 cup.
