Yes, melt the shortening in the skillet you are baking the cornbread in (if it's stove-safe) or otherwise melt it in microwave-safe container in the microwave.


Follow the recipe for the cornbread. (It probably also calls for egg, milk, %26amp; baking soda and/or baking powder in addition to the cornbread and shortening. I always also add just a bit of sugar to make the cornbread slightly sweet.


Be sure to grease the pan you are using if different from the skillet you heated the grease in.
