This cornbread recipe is a must-try this upcoming Thanksgiving. It’s seriously so delicious that your friends and family will be begging you to share the recipe…at least that’s how it goes with our guests.
Now, I’m just going to say this right off the bat, this is not your typical cornbread recipe. It won’t have the same density and mouth-feel as a traditional cornbread you’ve probably had before. But, I promise this is WAY better.
My mom learned this recipe from her aunt when she was living in Alabama for school. It’s the cornbread that she had for her very first Thanksgiving in America and every Thanksgiving since. And in all those 20+ years, we haven’t had to change the recipe at all because this one is just that good.
In this post, I’ll be sharing how you can turn FIVE simple ingredients into a warm and delicious cornbread that is a perfect side to serve this Thanksgiving.
