A classic Southern Cornbread that is perfect alongside barbecues or chilli. Savoury, not sweet, and made with mostly cornbread. A true Southern cornbread that is cooked in an iron skillet and tends to be crumbly. I am pretty sure that you can pull this off. With only a few simple ingredients, you’ll have this cornbread on your dinner table in no time!
For any leftovers, you can store them at room temperature for at least a day or two. Or freeze covered for up to two months. This homemade cornbread is a real keeper. Something worthy to try. My favourite Southern Cornbread that is perfect with any side. You can even dip it in soup or slather with butter. You got the texture, the flavour in a breeze that just crackles in your mouth.
