Country Homestyle Cornbread
Country Cornbread is a country-style cornbread baked in a cast iron skillet for a golden-brown crust, a slightly crumbly texture, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. It's a versatile side, perfect plain with butter, drizzled with honey, paired with savory dishes like chili, used in stuffing, or enjoyed as a snack.
