Real Southern Cornbread Recipe


Real Southern Cornbread Recipe
This is the only way my family has ever fixed cornbread. My grandma showed me how when I was real young. The secret is the Southern Corn Meal. I know you can not get it in the North or California because I have to mail it to family there.

Oh yummmmm, this sounds so good! Love cornbread, is the corn meal called 'sunflower'?


Glad I live in the south LOL


Will be trying this..I can make a pretty good ham and beans but my cornbread..not so much.
Thanx :)~~ang


Your grandmas recipe is the same as mine... I love this.. I also use it to make our cornbread dressing. Were going to Michigan next summer..I will take my own cornmeal!


Oh, boy....I hope I can find self-rising white cornmeal here......never had an occasion to look for it before.
Thanks for the recipe!


I got tickled at the Sunflower brand conmmeal..It's impossible to find anywhere here in San Antonio..I always used it too.I still I always used White Lily flour too and have just recently been able to find it.I fussed for 3 years.... :)


I've been able to find a lot of southern brands in ethnic grocers.


Thank you so much for the heads-up on what brand of flour to look for... I live in the northwest, so it could be a challenge! Also, I love tried and true recipes -- thank you for sharing with us your family heirloom.

Take care,
Ray


Delish! and I might add the black iron skillet is a MUST. I have dragged mine all over these United States and in Utah I went to the grocery manager and had them order me some white cornmeal.
You have a high 5 from me!Thanks
