Step 1

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Generously butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet.

Step 2

In a small bowl, toss together the cranberries and 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside.*

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, sugar, egg and vanilla. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Scrape the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet. Scatter the sugared cranberries over the top of the batter evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature (surprisingly awesome at room temp by the way!).
