Grandma Nellie's Buttermilk Cornbread
From Augusta Locally Grown
<p>My grandmother made the best cornbread in the world. When I was sick, she would make me ‘cornsticks’ for breakfast loaded with her home-churned butter. This is not your typical sweet southern cornbread. I love it with soup, beans, and often crumble it into a big glass of cold milk for breakfast or lunch.</p>Source: Nellie Mae Roe, Camp Dix, KY (1901-1989) (Entered by Amanda Lang)
