Buttermilk Cornbread Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This is a simple, classic buttermilk cornbread recipe baked in a preheated cast iron skillet. There's no sugar in a southern-style cornbread, but a small amount of sugar or a little honey can be added if you like. Melted butter makes a delicious cornbread, but melted shortening or part bacon drippings can be used as well. Or leave it out altogether.
