Mom's Buttermilk Cornbread
"I never knew what packaged cornbread was as a child. It's so easy and great to have with dinner or to put in dressing. My dressing gets requested every holiday and it has to have this cornbread in it."

Very good Corn Bread. Having grown up on a farm I learned early on that the one thing that puts a crown on Corn Bread is Bacon. Fry up some bacon till crisp. Crumble it and put it and some bacon grease in the bottom of the skillet instead of EVOO. MMMMMMMMMgood. Now top the corn bread with Apple butter and Pot cheese. Who needs fancy food? God Bless.

Surprisingly good for so little oil/grease. I would definitely make this again. Thanks for the note about doubling the recipe but keeping it at one egg. Because next time I will double this recipe. I made buttermilk with soymilk and one tablespoon of vinegar. Although this is not the sweet cornbread I am used to I think it's delicious and goes great with a stew. Thank you. -
This is very good. We don't like our cornbread too sweet and this fit the bill. Great with a bowl of chili. Simple to make and loved it in the cast iron skillet. Made for Spring 2009 PAC.

<p>I'm a 39 year old mother of 2 boys who can eat!! They are willing to try just about anything, so I'm always looking for new recipes. I work at a cotton gin during ginning season, so I have to leave the crock pot going alot in the fall. We raise show pigs and show steers, so we are out of town alot going to livestock shows to compete. We love to eat out and try new things, but we also have our rituals at each city we travel to. We have to eat at least once at Pappadeaux; Carrabas; and Salt Grass Steak House each trip! My favorite cookbook is Calf Fries to Caviar, but I love my RecipeZaar one as well. I'm the food and nutrition project leader for our 4H group, and I love to try the healthier recipes for our County and District Food Shows. We used the Aunties Vegetable Casserole last year, and won 3rd place at District, so we need something to top that!</p>
