This is one of those comfort foods a true southerner can't do without! So easy to make... This works best if you can bake it in an iron skillet... a 10" or 12" skllet will work.

How to Make Southern Style Cornbread

Step-by-Step

Using your hands, rub the shortening all over the inside of the iron skillet or pan you will use. Grease it well. Mix ingredients until just blended and pour into the prepared skillet or pan. Bake at 450 degrees until brown & crusty on top, about 30 minutes.
Let set on top of the stove to cool about 20 minutes before serving. Serve with sweet creamery butter..... YUM!
