They did not add sugar but sometime put a strip of bacon in the skillet and fried it leaving the hot grease and bacon in the skillet. They poured the batter over the sizzling bacon and bacon great and then poured half the batter on one side and half on the other side of the skillet. When the delicious crispy pone came out of the pan one half was folded back on the other and served immediately with a lot of butter. Then my dad's favorite "desert" was a cornbread crumbled in a dish of buttermilk. Thanks for jogging some great memories!

I have fondest memories of visiting my great Aunt and going through her kitchen and ALWAYS seeing the iron skillet of white corn bread, the best I have ever tasted. After trying unsuccessfully for a few years to recreate it, yours looks like I might be going in the right direction. Look forward to trying with succotash, fried fish and chili for the winter months. Nothing sweet but the TEA!

I wouldn't know how to make cornbread in anything other than my 10" iron skillet. Thanks for making me drool (again) Rhoda. I gotta quit reading your stuff at the office. People are starting to talk. :-P FYI - Made 14 (yep, 14) pans of chicken & cornbread dressing this weekend; my family cannot live without it on holidays. The cornbread for the dressing must be extra dense, so I use 2 cups of buttermilk, THREE eggs & 1/2 yellow-1/2 white cornmeal to each pan of cornbread, cooked to crunchy goodness on the outside. Took 2 days, but now my freezer is full of Christmas gifts & To-Die-For party food. Wish you were closer, Rhoda, I'd bring you a pan. Christy P.S. Can't wait to see ALL the Hospitality House pics to come! Buttermilk cornbread & butter – a staple of life. I wouldn’t know how to make cornbread in anything other than my 10″ iron skillet.

This is almost the exact recipe that I use - except I don't add an egg to the batter. And I don't usually add the oil to the batter, although I have. I also use all buttermilk like you did. It keeps it much moister. Oh, and by the way, I grew up in Michigan. My family all grew up in the South, though, so I consider myself a Yankabilly instead of a Yankee. I don't care for yellow, sweet cornbread. Bleck! Mmmm…nothing like some good ol’ cornbread. This is almost the exact recipe that I use – except I don’t add an egg to the batter.

I love it both ways -- with a bacon and egg breakfast, I'll make sweetened cornbread muffins, but as the accompaniment for an evening meal, I'll the do unsweetened, cheese-and-jalapeno-laden variety. Either way, we love it! Must try it in a pan though -- it looks awesome and I bet it tastes a little different. (haha, its' probably more <i>authentic</i> tasting!!)
