This southern cornbread recipe is moist and fluffy - just like cornbread should be.

 Moist and  fluffy cornbread at it’s finest! Here is my recipe for Grandmas Southern Cornbread. It’s super easy to make, and takes very little time. For this cornbread I used a self rising buttermilk cornmeal mix. Therefore, I didn’t have to add any rising agent, nor flour! Try this recipe out for yourself and serve it with my Southern Black Eyed Peas!
