This Classic Southern Cornbread Recipe combines simple yellow cornmeal and buttermilk, bringing out the naturally sweet flavor of corn – without adding sugar. Cooked in a cast iron skillet with bacon drippings – it will please even the toughest critics.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Southern Cornbread is golden, sweet, moist, and delicious – without any sugar. Yellow cornmeal<\/a> is combined with creamy buttermilk and baked in bacon grease or butter – served with your favorite bowl of seafood gumbo<\/a>, it is absolute perfection.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

If you grew up adding sugar to your cornbread or using Jiffy corn muffin mix, I urge you to give true southern cornbread a try. You think you won’t like it, but I promise you will. Cornmeal has a natural hint of sweetness, and baking it with butter makes it taste even sweeter. (Southern Cornbread is not <\/em>the same as old-fashioned cornbread with no flour, which is definitely an acquired taste\/texture.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love a good sweetened cornbread<\/a>, but I will agree with the southern cornbread purists that it is a bit like cake. This is why my husband loves it – an excuse to eat dessert with dinner! <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

A true Southern cornbread is crumbly, delicious, and tastes like sweet Southern corn. Southern Style Cornbread is such a great addition to any Southern meal – we love to serve it with fried chicken<\/a> and collard greens<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
