    Real Southern Cornbread,This is my families recipe, with a small change in the method which I learned from a book. It’s the only cornbread I will eat. Please use a 10 inch cast iron skillet — it makes a big difference in how this bread turns out.,The BEST cornbread recipe EVER, my cornbread turned out so light and fluffy in a good way, not dense. Just perfection.,Love it. Primarily because it reminds me of my late grandmother’s recipe which is dryer, less moist, and un(sickeningly)-sweet! Some accustomed to northern cornbread recipes will not like this. But I grew up spending a great deal of time with my grandparents in Texas and cornbread was a staple meal item several times per week and almost always made with the use of a cast iron cornbread mold. I bought such a mold at an antique shop just for the purpose of making “Grandma’s” cornbread recipe – and this is effectively it! It would be easy to add some diced Jalapenos if you like a spicier flavor, but I love this plain with just a little covering of butter when it come fresh from the oven.
