American Southern Cornbread is slightly sweet compared to Cajun cornbread and most restaurant and prepared cornbread mixes.

This recipe is made using self rising cornmeal a staple in the south and available at many grocers around the country. If self rising cornmeal is not available in your area you can make your own. Self rising cornmeal is made from white or yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. The added baking powder reduces the self life so only buy or make as much as you can use within a few months.

Substitutions

To reduce saturated fat, replace the butter with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of vegetable oil.

Cast Iron Cornbread

Southern Cornbread is traditionally made in a cast iron skillet or cornbread forms. If you do not own a cast iron skillet you can bake your cornbread in a 9″ (23 cm) round or square baking pan or muffin pan. You can coat the baking pan or muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Paper liners are another option when making muffins.
