Southern BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD FROM SCRATCH! Homemade Easy Cornbread Recipe

I'm Southern and I am going to show you have to make buttermilk cornbread from scratch. I like Jiffy Cornbread, but sometimes I have to make the REAL stuff. I know there is a big debate about whether sugar should be added to cornbread to make it Southern. Well from my research it seems that sugar was not an everyday addition to cornbread as sugar was expensive back in the day. But my from my personal experience I have had a little sugar in cornbread often growing up. So to add sugar or no sugar? Well I say it's up to you. But the butter and bacon grease, yea that's gonna stay!
Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
3/4 tsp salt ( could also use 1/2 tsp if your bacon grease is really salty)
1 stick unsalted butter melted
2 eggs
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp - 1/4 c brown sugar ( I used 1/4 cup) (optional)
honey ( optional)
2 tbsp bacon grease or butter for pan
1 1/2 cup buttermilk

My wife and I don't normally eat a lot of bread except for holidays but we finished your cornbread in 3 days. I will definitely be using this recipe again! Keep up the good work!

Cornbread is one of those really interesting dishes that says a lot for such a simple concept. Cornmeal used to be known as Indian meal, because it was already in common use when europeans landed. Indigenous people showed colonists to make cornbread for survival, but it was a very different kind of bread than we would recognize as cornbread today. As a class of landowners developed, cornbread was seen as a poor man's food, commonly consumed by poor white and free black subsistence farmers, and those individuals held captive in chattle slavery. It was a way to get good quick and cheap energy. Anyone who could afford to eat bread made from wheat did so, because it was seen as the more sophisticated thing to consume. Typically, before grist mills became industrialized, cornmeal could only be purchased during corn harvest, and usually it was the white corn variety. This corn was very sweet. After industrialization, corn was turned into meal before it had a chance to ripen; it is with that change we begin to see sugar being added to cornbread. People sometimes feel very strongly about sugar in cornbread, but i think about 2-4 tablespoons probably makes it taste more authentic. Loved the video, sorry for the corny rant!!

New to Your channel & new subscriber & I love the food You cooked. I always say there aren't really any rules to cooking EXCEPT FOR BEING CLEAN & NOT DOUBLE DIPPING WITH UTENSILS. What got Me to continue watching Your Videos was seeing just how clean & sanitary You are. No Rules is to be as creative as one wants to be, bringing a new twist\trick to Soul Food {or any style cusine}. I don't eat pork for nearly 15 years. I do eat Beef bacon & spicy beef sausages. Renders about as much grease as pork. I will try My homemade cornbread same as Yours but with *_Beef Grease._* Thanks
