Southern Cornbread Recipe (Buttermilk and Cast Iron)

Traditional Southern Cornbread 

Nothing pairs with a summer supper on the Forgotten Coast quite like a skillet of true Southern cornbread — crispy on the outside, tender inside, and made the old-fashioned way with no sugar. This version from Grits and Pinecones uses stone-ground cornmeal, buttermilk, and a hot cast-iron skillet to deliver that classic golden crust and rich corn flavor.

It’s simple, reliable, and perfect alongside greens, field peas, fried fish, or a bowl of chili. Serve it warm with a pat of butter and you’ve got pure comfort.
