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.

ReplyDeleteI have lived here in The Piney woods all my life... And all of your recipes from your mom have really stired up my memories of my grandparents (God rest there souls) and this recipe actually made me cry. As a little girl I would sit on my Papas lap and eat this.. I love it. Thank you for creating this wonderful heart felt and awesome recipes blog. Keep the old recipes coming. When the book is done let me know how I can get one. Thank you so very much... Casey
ReplyDeleteAwe....I have to say you brought tears to my eyes reading your comment. Those are the memories that are embedded in me too :)You made my day!
DeleteI don't have a cast-iron skillet. Can I bake this in a cake pan or something? If so, what size?
ReplyDeleteYes you can bake it in a cake pan and I would pour it in two 8" pans....or a 9x13 cake pan...and glass pyrex is ok too. You don't want to over flow....hope this helps :)
ReplyDeleteButtermilk and cornbread is so much better than regular milk. Yum.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I remember eating corn bread in a cup of milk with my dad and Grandpa at the cabin. I still love having it. Now my five year old daughter loves cornbread in a cup of milk. We just had some this morning together. Thank you for the memories

DeleteFinally A recipe my grandma used I use to make cornbread like her's but after 40 years I forgot the recipe glad you made my day hurray yippeee
ReplyDeleteOk, well thats all grandpa ate for dinner! Two things had to happen:
ReplyDeleteCornbread must be fresh. Grandma made fresh cornbread nightly. 2nd whole milk must be cold! Ive learned from experience, if you feel like your stomach cant take anything but your hungry try this before bed!
Good Luck...
Try adding about a Table spoon of old fashion Cane syrup or or sorghum syrup and be careful not not to break your truth on the spoon.. Thanks for the memory.
