Cornbread Recipe

This easy homemade cornbread recipe has crispy edges, a tender and moist crumb, and lots of flavor thanks to buttermilk and brown sugar. It's a classic southern side dish that goes with everything!

Cornbread is one of the oldest “quick bread” style recipes in American cookery. It’s a southern staple but deserves a place on dinner tables around the country. You’ll like how easy and foolproof this recipe is but absolutely love the flavor of that delicious cornbread! A cast iron skillet makes the edge crisp and amazing but you can make this an any baking dish.

Such a nice sight to see someone smilling ear to ear while explaining something they love.

I make my cornbread much like you do. You're missing just one step, but it's an game-changer IMO. Just before you pour your batter in the skillet sprinkle a little cornmeal in there. It adds that extra crunchy, slight browned aspect to the exterior. It's a small step with big impact.

In Paraguay we do this but without sugar and with onions and it's called "paraguayan soup". Legend has it that a maid was making soup but she added too much corn flour so it turned out solid.

Sometimes I wonder where my happiness came from before I found preppy kitchen on YouTube 😂 just kidding, but seriously- John never fails to put me in the best mood!

Great recipe! This is a similar recipe to what my grandma used to do when I lived in Brazil. The difference is that we also add fennel seeds. The seeds give a total twist on the flavor. This with a good cup of coffee are one of staples for some evening family time back there. Its the kind of food that brings back some memories.

Some other variations back in Brazil are made with some cheese in the middle too. When you half bake it, the bread becomes really creamy on the middle.

Mississippi here 🙋‍♀️ aside from the brown sugar, that's SUPER close to my generational family recipe for cornbread, including the iron skillet ❤️

I like the way u say A..MAZING! Also I love cornbread. I have never put brown sugar in mine but I will today. Your recipes are outstanding.

The sound of the crispy edge is absolutely beautiful!! I'm preparing my cornbread today! Thank you for the recipe!

I made a pan of cornbread this afternoon in the small size of the 60 year old set of cast iron inherited from my husbands aunt. Nothing better on a cold evening .The addition of brown sugar to the recipe is unique I will definitly try it. I am going to pass this set on to my granddaughter who is ten years old. And she will likely pass it on to her child. I do enjoy your channel and you sir are a true gentleman.

I'm in a cornbread baking streak, and I think this will be the perfect recipe! When John is cooking, it's always perfect 💚

John's excitement for cornbread is unparalleled, I could sense it through the screen, and I don't blame him, it looks gorgeous!

Oh, I love cornbread! I actually bought a cast iron skillet just to be able to make a crisp cornbread. This recipe sounds perfect, I will definitely make it this weekend. Thank you!

I gotta say thanks for all your videos. When my wife and kids hear your voice from the kitchen, they know something good is coming.

I’m making this tomorrow. I miss my mom’s cornbread. She made the best cornbread. Thanks for sharing 🎉

This looks SO good! My family makes iron skillet corn bread too. We cut the wedges apart, then cut them horizontally (not all the way through)....then place the pat of butter inside where the heat melts it and it soaks into the middle! 😋

Love your recipe! I’m making it tonight and adding cheese, corn, chili powder, and diced sun dried tomatoes!!!

I knew this would be a perfect cornbread when you added buttermilk. Thanks for always-perfect food adventures!!
