A simple, traditional corn bread. This isn't sweet, nor does it have anything added, but you CAN use it for a base recipe to add jalapenos, onion, cheese, etc. We like it best with butter and honey!

This is the kind of cornbread that I love! Thanks for the post.


I love that this is cooked in a cast iron pan! Looks so comforting! Added this to "Cast iron cooking" for you.


Hi Keni! I have been looking for a simple corn bread recipe...this is my mission - to make corn bread (not from a box) in my cast iron pan. My friends just laugh and eat the latest batch I made. I'll make it the next time I make something cajun (with it being Mardi Gras here that should be by the end of next week) and I'll let you know how it went.

Are you using white or yellow corn meal?

Thanks for sharing and high-five!


Thanks again, dear!!!! Making this right now! And I always keep bacon grease on hand!
