Real Southern Cornbread Recipe - Food.com (2024)

This is a great recipe! :) <br/><br/>I do want to address a comment made on here by Chef #1294037 regarding what is "Real Southern", what is not, and what classifies Real Southern cornbread. <br/><br/>"Really good recipe...but real Southern cornbread is made with white cornmeal, not yellow. Don't get me wrong, I'm from GA and my grandmother would roll over in her grave if she knew I secretly preferred yellow-but traditional southern cornbread is always white. They used to say white cornmeal is for people, yellow is for the animals. lol"<br/><br/>The South is not just Georgia, but several other states as well. I'm from Texas and yellow cornmeal is used for our authentic Southern cornbread. As Chef said, white might be what it is in Georgia, but the South is far more than just Georgia. <br/>My point is, this is an authentic recipe, because it's titled Southern not Georgian, and yellow is considered 'proper' in several other states besides just Texas. <br/><br/>It's important to know where the whole South is before declaring something is incorrect. I say this because many people might search because they want to know what is authentic for whatever reasons, educational, interest, special dinner, etc. <br/><br/>So thank you P4 for posting this recipe. It is very good, and it sure seemed Southern to me. :)
