This is one of my existing recipes that I am refreshing with some new photos. Cornbread is a cornerstone of Southern—and American—food tradition: the country's first bread made without yeast. It evolved from nourishing Cherokee corn-and-bean cakes into simple unleavened ash cakes and pones baked on the hearthstones of frontier cabins, then into portable Johnny cakes and hoecakes that fortified soldiers and farmers alike, and finally into the iconic skillet-baked. However, today's cornbread recipe is for the savory type of cornbread. Traditionally baked in a cast iron skillet, this cornbread is hearty, rustic, and has a crunchy crust.
