Mama's Buttermilk Corn Bread image

When I was growing up we always had biscuits for breakfast, and corn bread for supper, , we didn't call it dinner like it is commonly referred to now, and this recipe is one that my mama made with buttermilk, she had other recipes, but this is the one she used to make the Buttermilk Corn Bread. We loved it hot from the wood...
