Recipe Tips
To make this dish look more authentic, make it in a cast iron skillet, just like they do in the South! It’s safe to use cast iron in the oven.
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, simply add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk and let it sit. If you have leftover buttermilk, feel free to add it into some Cranberry Quinoa Muffins instead of milk to keep them moist and tender.
To give this cornbread extra flavor, add some shredded Cheddar or Pepper Jack Cheese to your next batch.
