Place the butter into an oven safe skillet on the stove, and melt it over medium heat.

Notes
TIP: If you want a deep golden hue, use yellow cornmeal instead of white cornmeal in this recipe.
TIP: Cornbread has a distinct texture and flavor. It’s one of the reasons why it’s so popular. More flour will make the cornbread less crumbly if you don’t like it crumbly. More cornmeal, on the other hand, will make it crumblier. You may play around with the texture of your cornbread to get the texture you want!
TIP: To ensure that the batter is properly distributed in the baking dish, use a rubber spatula.
