My Daddy(Charlie Hall) made the best cornbread. It goes wonderful with just about anything that you would eat cornbread with. Even if you just want a glass of cornbread and milk you can't go wrong with this. Also, I prefer this recipe with buttermilk, but my sister-in-law made it with regular milk and it was very good as well. So, it's up to you on the buttermilk or sweet milk but I'd use whole sweet milk not low fat or fat free...Tina

Note: If after stirring...mix is still too dry, add more buttermilk, remembering that it is cornbread and is supposed to be thicker than cake mix, but not as thick as cookie mix. - 3Pour into skillet or cake pan and bake in pre-heated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. If unsure insert a toothpick and when it comes out dry it is done. Do not over cook.
