Cornbread

Growing up in Asheville, I would consider myself a Southern girl. And where I'm from, we don't put sugar in cornbread. A real southern cornbread has buttermilk, no flour, and is cooked in a cast iron skillet. It is savory and juicy with the edges crunchy from the oil in the skillet. It is not a cake or a desert.

If you haven't tried a "real" southern cornbread right out of the oven, then you don't know what you've been missing!

I like to grease the skillet with bacon grease - just to add that extra southern flavor!
