Recipe: Appetizing Traditional Southern Cornbread

Traditional Southern Cornbread. This cornbread is a staple in my kitchen, and I use it as the base for my Traditional Southern Cornbread Dressing and Make-Ahead Cornbread Dressing with Pecans and Sausage. It is also delicious paired with Southern Hoppin'John or Southern Black-Eyed Peas. Last, but not least, my recipe for Hoe Cakes, aka Cornmeal Pancakes, will make you swoon.

Traditional Southern Cornbread Also if you use self-rising cornbread you will not need all of that baking soda. Last of all there seemed to be too much buttermilk. Hi Arlene, yes, traditional Southern cornbread made with all cornmeal can be very crumbly. You can cook Traditional Southern Cornbread using 8 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

I would try using a mixture of flour and cornmeal next time! 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. Whether we were eating soup or a chicken dinner, this cornbread was the perfect accompaniment.

I loved dunking it into any gravy or sauce on my plate. Corn light bread is an old Southern specialty made more like traditional sandwich bread — with yeast, flour, and, often, commercial leaveners — than what you'd expect from cornbread. This version is is fairly light, with a spongy crumb and a subtle sweetness from the corn. If you're gonna get out a mixing bowl and dirty a spoon, you might as well make it taste better than a bagged mix-that's just my opinion. My secrets to crispy southern cornbread.
