Real Southern Cornbread

    Cuisine:

    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.
