Easy Scratch Cornbread
Cornbread from scratch is so easy and infinitely variable! It can be a side dish or a one pan meal, depending on how you vary the recipe. This is my basic recipe with variation ideas added (I've been making all these variations for years!). My Momma always makes Sweet Cornbread and I love Jalapeño Cornbread.
