I suppose the good folks to the south dont use the Quaker brand?




I did find a recipe that called for bacon grease in it......and was cooked in an iron skillet.


Guess I will try that one.


well, customs around here are changin' pretty fast now. but in general and on average, we use white corn meal, we save the yellow stuff for livestock feed.

but, the bacon grease or at least a big dollop of lard in the bottom of the cast iron pan is deriguour.

oh, there' ain't no sugar in real life cornbread. but it's ok to add a sweetner on top, but i don't.
