Cornbread varies in flavor and texture depending on what part of the country you’re in. Southern cornbread is unsweetened and more crumbly than the sweet cake-like recipes of the North; it’s also baked in a very hot cast iron skillet while Northern cornbread is usually made in a casserole dish. This cornbread recipe is for the classic buttermilk cornbread found throughout the South. There’s generally no added sugar to Southern cornbread making it an ideal side dish for a hearty meal. Serve it fresh from the oven cut into wedges with beans or collard greens or a big bowl of chili. It can also be used to make a delicious cornbread filling. If you want to go “old school” crumble some of this cornbread into a mug and enjoy it with a few drizzles of buttermilk.

THE BEST SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD + HONEY BUTTER RECIPE | QUICK & EASY TUTORIAL
"I normally make cornbread with butter or oil but this recipe uses shortening and the flavor was amazing. It's easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. I like the variations in the recipe because I prefer a sweeter cornbread. I added a few tablespoons of sugar and it was slightly sweet." —Carrie Parente
1/4 cup melted shortening divided
2 cups white or yellow cornmeal
