This cornbread is the classic southern buttermilk cornbread you’ll find throughout the South. There’s generally no sugar added to Southern cornbread.
If you prefer sweeter cornbread, add a few tablespoons of sugar.
This is an excellent cornbread to serve freshly baked in wedges with beans or greens or a big bowl of chili. It makes great stuffing, too!
For a little extra flavor, add some bacon drippings to the skillet if you have it.
