Southern cornbread is unsweetened and more crumbly than the sweet cake-like recipes from the North; it&#8217;s also cooked in a very hot cast-iron skillet, while Northern cornbread is typically made in a baking dish. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/top-cornbread-recipes-3054219\">cornbread<\/a> recipe is for the classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/what-is-buttermilk-1806998\">buttermilk<\/a> cornbread you&#8217;ll find throughout the South. There&#8217;s generally no sugar added to Southern cornbread, which makes it an ideal side dish for a savory meal. Serve it fresh from the oven, cut into wedges, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/southern-pinto-beans-with-ham-hocks-3054524\">beans<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/southern-style-collard-greens-3053947\">collard greens<\/a> or a big bowl of chili. It can also be used to make a delicious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/cornbread-sausage-stuffing-5084180\">cornbread stuffing<\/a>. If you want to go &#8220;old school,&#8221; crumble some of this cornbread into a mug and enjoy it with a few splashes of buttermilk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/4 cup melted shortening, divided<\/li>\n<li>2 cups white or yellow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/cornmeal-vs-grits-vs-polenta-1328613\">cornmeal<\/a><\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>2 1\/2 teaspoons <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/make-your-own-baking-powder-995820\">baking powder<\/a><\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/4 cups <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/how-to-make-a-buttermilk-substitute-4145341\">buttermilk<\/a><\/li>\n<li>1 large egg<\/li>\n<li>Butter, for serving, optional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Steps to Make It<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Gather the ingredients.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 425 F.
