Buttermilk cornbread

Most people think of cornbread as a savory dish, but there is also a long tradition of sweet cornbreads in the United States. One of the most popular of these is buttermilk cornbread.

Buttermilk cornbread is a type of cornbread that is made with buttermilk instead of milk. This gives the cornbread a richer flavor and a more moist texture. The buttermilk also helps to leaven the cornbread, making it more light and fluffy.

Buttermilk cornbread has been around for centuries. It was a popular dish in the colonial era, and it was often served at harvest time. In the South, cornbread was a staple of the slave diet, and it was often served with beans or rice.
