MOM'S SWEET BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD
This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen corn. Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn is a good substitute if you don't have fresh corn on hand. Just be sure to thaw the corn before using it.
- Add sugar to the cornbread batter. Sugar helps to balance out the acidity of the buttermilk and gives the cornbread a slightly sweet flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a preheated oven. This will help the cornbread to rise evenly.
- Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.
