Buttermilk Corn Bread image

This is my go to southern cornbread recipe. I do add a little sugar to this to help with browning but it does not make it sweet. I like it with a hot bowl of pinto beans! The brand of corn meal mix I have had the best luck with is White Lilly. I would never use yellow cornmeal mix.
