PERFECT! TRUE Southern cornbread! White cornmeal, not yellow. Always used a self rising cornmeal mix, so no baking powder, soda, or salt has to be added. NEVER any sugar! The seasoned iron skillet makes the crispiest outside crust while the inside stays moist! Thanks for posting a cornbread just like my Mom's!
