Baked Cornbread, cut a slice and pour cold milk over it in a glass. In the South this is poor mans food but no one ever knew it because it taste like your eating like a king!
When I came into the Little family, I was used to eating Southern Buttermilk Cornbread.
Needless to say the longer I was in the family, the more I began to have a taste for sweet cornbread.
Traditionally, sweet cornbread contains equal portions of flour and yellow cornmeal with a liberal amount of sugar.
There is one thing that has not changed since I came into the family and that is my affection for a late night snack of a cold glass of Milk and Cornbread.
