Classic Southern Buttermilk Cornbread

Classic Southern Buttermilk Cornbread

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.
