Directions
Real Southern Cornbread, This is my families recipe, with a small change in the method which I learned from a book It’s the only cornbread I will eat Please use a 10 inch cast iron skillet — it makes a big difference in how this bread turns out , This is a SKILLET cornbread recipe Says use a 10 inch cast iron skillet However the picture shows a square ceramic dish I would never use one of these to make cornbread I doubled the recipe for a 10 inch skillet As written, it seems to make too thin a cornbread Also, I grew up in Georgia Probably ate cornbread every day My mother & grandmothers NEVER put sugar in cornbread , The BEST cornbread recipe EVER, my cornbread turned out so light and fluffy in a good way, not dense Just perfection
