My Family’s Corn Bread

There are dozens of spins on corn bread, and many claim to be “the” traditional Southern style. Some people like a denser and moister bread, whereas others want a drier and fluffier one. Some people want to taste the sweetness; others do not. This is the family corn bread recipe I grew up with, and it leans toward fluffy and sweet. The one thing on which everyone agrees? Cook your corn bread in a well-seasoned cast-iron pan.
