Dixie Corn Bread
This recipe comes from the Aunt Jemima website. It is just the southern style that I have been scouring the web for. My mother's family is from Georgia so even tho I'm a yankee I grew up on real southern cookin! They are all gone now and I never got their cornbread recipe and I've got a cravin'! Tomorrow I will be making this cornbread.
