When you stop and think about it, there are so many different variations of cornbread out there. I’ve tried many different kinds of cornbreads, I can’t say I liked all of them but this Southern Cornbread was delish!
Sure you can opt for the boxed stuff which comes in handy when you are in a rush but if you have the time, do yourself a favor and give this cornbread recipe a try. You will not regret it. Better than any boxed cornbread.
And what goes great with Cornbread? Chili of course. And you are in luck, I have one of the best collections of Gourmet Chili Recipes.
Besides chili, you can serve this cornbread with other southern foods like collard greens, or fried chicken.
Recipe Variation
Instead of the milk, you can substitute for an equal amount of buttermilk. You can also just use white sugar instead of a combination of white and brown sugar. Personally, I like the extra sweetness from the brown sugar.

My husband just loved this cornbread. It’s the kind of recipe that never goes out of style.
There is nothing like cornbread. This recipe is very easy to make and very moist even on the second day. Very good recipe.
