Southern cornbread
Buttermilk cast-iron bread
Southern cornbread is a variety of cornbread that doesn't contain sugar or flour—just cornmeal, buttermilk, eggs, and fat.
This distinguishes it from the sweeter, cakier Northern version.
Traditionalists insist on baking it in a cast-iron skillet preheated with bacon grease or butter, producing a crispy golden crust.
Real Southern cornbread shouldn't taste like dessert.
