CORNBREAD

The Bread Of The South

Ask ten Southern cooks and you'll get ten different recipes for making cornbread. But one ingredient a true Southern cook will not include in her, or his, recipe is sugar....
Always use buttermilk when cooking cornbread. Regular milk makes inferior tasting cornbread.
My mother and grandmothers knew cornmeal straight from the mill, usually ground from the corn raised on family land.. If it is available, stone ground corn meal makes the best cornbread. Our generation knows mostly of the self-rising brands that come from the grocery stores.

To make good cornbread, you need a properly cured cast iron skillet.
