Old Fashioned Southern Cornbread is a great bread to serve with real butter and honey or a drizzle of blackstrap molasses. Serve it as a side dish with a piping hot bowl of soup or a meaty chili. Or try it Southern style  crumbled in a tall glass of cold milk. Yes, traditionally you have this with buttermilk but we do not use it. We use cold regular old organic milk.

The *BEST* Cornbread Recipe

Easy Traditional Southern-Style Cornbread made with buttermilk and stone-ground cornmeal and is full of rich corn flavor, and has a deliciously crunchy crust.

Southern Cornbread with Buttermilk

peanut oil (plus one tablespoon to grease the skillet)

Preheat your oven to 450 °F.

Add one tablespoon of oil to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or metal cake pan and place in the oven to heat for five to ten minutes.

While the skillet is heating, add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

Mix the eggs, buttermilk, and peanut oil in a smaller bowl.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon to combine. Only mix until the batter is moistened. It&#39;s okay if there are a few dry spots or lumps. Do not overmix.

Carefully remove the heated skillet from the oven. Tilt the pan slightly in a circle and swirl the oil around to ensure it coats the bottom and halfway up the sides of the skillet. Add the batter.

Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the top of the cornbread is golden brown and the bread starts pulling away from the sides of the pan. The center should also spring back when pressed, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Place the skillet on a baking rack for five minutes to cool. 

To remove the cornbread from the skillet, place a plate that is a few inches wider than the skillet over the top of the pan. Use hot pads and hold on to both the skillet and the plate; carefully flip the skillet and dish over at the same time and remove the skillet. If you prefer, you can cut the cornbread into wedges and serve straight from the skillet.

Serve immediately while it&#39;s still hot with plenty of butter.

Fill your kitchen with the aroma of homemade cornbread! My family has been making this easy cornbread recipe for decades. The crisp golden crust and moist, fluffy center really can't be beat.

I will never make cornbread with jiffy again!! This is easy, fast to put together and delicious. As an addition I melted a pat or two of butter in a cast iron skillet and then poured in the mix. 
WOW!!! Cornbread heaven!!

I swapped the all purpose flour with oat flour and the bread is tasty but not hard, it crumbles :/
I baked it for 30 min
Any idea why did the bread come out like that and what can I try to do to fix it?

This was a waste of time, it didn't cook for that long, I had to wait about two hours! I don't recommend it!!

This cornbread tasted delicious but was very crumbly. Do you have any idea why that is and what I could do to change it. I followed the recipe exactly.

Hi Debra 

The cornbread was crumbly because your binding agent which is the egg didn’t mix well with the rest of the batter. I’m not sure why the recipe doesn’t specify to beat the egg first before pouring in the mix. This really helps with crumbly texture and makes the cornbread more solid. Also wait atleast 20 min after cornbread is taken out of the oven before you cut it. These two tips should do the trick

I made mini muffins with this recipe, baked 11 minutes and omg!!!! They're were amazing.

Excellent cornbread, baked in a small pyrex pan. I reduced sugar to 1/2 cup, salt to 1/2 tsp and still tasted great. I beat the egg lightly before adding, which might help with folks' "crumbly" issues.

Very good flavor to this cornbread!  I used extra virgin olive oil for my neutral oil, was almost out of butter or I'd used that instead. Other than that I pre heated my.glass baking pan with a tablespoon or so of olive oil and with about four tablespoons of cornmeal. Love the crusty bottom this adds!  Other than that I followed the recipe. Was in the crumbly side... Do you think an extra egg might remedy this?  Still much better than my normal cornbread!!

I tried this recipe . like some of the others persons. I used muffin tin to do mine. I also beat my egg . I used oat milk and ordinary sugar but reduced the amount of sugar. I also used only 3 teaspoons BP.. The muffins came out. Well let this recipe be my go for corn bread

The absolute best cornbread recipe! Delicious!

The Best Cornbread Recipe - Full

Old Fashioned Southern Cornbread made in a cast-iron skillet with buttermilk is a true Southern staple and an easy and quick gluten-free recipe!

Old-Fashioned Style Cornbread Recipe

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon grease to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place the skillet in the oven for five to seven minutes to heat up.

While the skillet is heating up, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

Add the eggs, buttermilk, and two tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted bacon grease to a smaller bowl and whisk until well combined.

Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.

Using a heavy-duty oven mitt or potholder, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Tilt the skillet to make sure the bottom and sides are covered with oil. Immediately pour the batter into the skillet. You should hear a nice sizzle, and you will see the batter already start to rise.

Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is a deep golden brown and has pulled away from the sides a little. To ensure it is done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean. Serve immediately.

This Cornbread without Buttermilk is moist, buttery, and has a crispy golden brown crust.  It&#39;s dairy-free and can be made vegan with just 1 swap!

Cornbread without Buttermilk (Dairy-free)

soy milk (or pey milk)

apple cider vinegar

(195 grams) medium or fine-ground yellow cornmeal

(95 grams) all-purpose flour

tsp baking powder

tsp sea salt

(56 grams) melted butter ((vegan or regular))

eggs, room temperature

brown sugar (packed)

(85 grams) honey

Preheat oven to 400ºF (204ºC). If using a cast iron pan, add it to the oven to preheat as well. To a medium bowl, add milk and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to curdle. This will be our buttermilk substitute.

Then, add the eggs, oil, melted butter, brown sugar, and honey. Using a whisk, mix until well combined and smooth.

To a large bowl, sift all of the dry ingredients- flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and using a rubber spatula, gently mix until the flour is just incorporated. Don&#39;t overmix! Having a few clumps is okay. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to hydrate.

After 10 minutes, take the hot cast iron skillet out of the oven using oven gloves. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Using a pastry brush, spread it on the walls of the skillet.

Pour the batter into the hot skillet and tap it on the counter a few times to release air bubbles. Smooth out the top with a spatula.

Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until you insert a toothpick or a knife and it comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve while still warm!
