MOM'S SWEET BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD
This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.

SOUTHERN COUNTRY CORNBREAD
Watching my grandpa make cornbread over the years I am now soo sad I never asked him for the recipe, that and his biscuits are now lost forever, I am trying to recreate them and this is the closest I've come to the cornbread. Though it is nowhere near what he made. It is a tweaking of several recipes and of what I remember, and do not add sugar!! I will cry if anyone does!!

Steps:
- INSTRUCTIONS 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Prick potatoes all over with fork. Microwave on large plate until potatoes are very soft and surfaces are slightly wet, 10 to 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. Immediately slice potatoes in half to release steam. 2. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop flesh into bowl and mash until smooth (you should have about 1 3/4 cups); discard skins. Whisk in milk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in separate large bowl. Stir sweet potato mixture into cornmeal mixture until combined. 3. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in 10-inch ovensafe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes. Swirl butter to coat bottom and sides. Pour batter into hot skillet and smooth top with rubber spatula. Bake until cornbread is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cornbread cool in skillet on wire rack for 1 hour. Loosen edges of cornbread from skillet with spatula and slide out onto cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will result in the best flavor and texture for your cornbread.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the cornbread cook evenly and give it a nice crust.
- Preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This is important for ensuring that the cornbread cooks through evenly.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
These are just a few tips for making delicious cornbread. Cornbread is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a side dish, a main course, or even a dessert. No matter how you choose to serve it, cornbread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
