10 Favorite Cornbread Recipes

Fall, winter, and the holiday season is the perfect time for cornbread. But did you know how many different ways you can make it? I realized I have done quite a few cornbread recipes myself, so I have listed all of my favorites.

What is cornbread?

It is a type of quick bread, meaning that it is not made with yeast. As the name suggests, it is made with cornmeal. Similar corn recipes are common in many native cultures, and cornbread in different forms became very popular during the Civil War, because of how economical cornmeal is and the ease of preparing cornbread.
