I got this out of one of Paula Deen's cookbooks and my mother asks me to make her a batch every time I come home to visit. I gave her the recipe, but she says if she makes it she has to clean up the dishes!

Tips:

  • To make sure the cornbread cooks evenly, use a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this will result in a tough cornbread.
  • For a sweeter cornbread, add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to preheat the oven to 400°F before baking the cornbread.
  • To test if the cornbread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is ready.
  • Let the cornbread cool for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a plate.
