For a sweeter cornbread, add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar to the dry ingredients. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 4 cups of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Don't overmix the batter, or the cornbread will be tough. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is key to a perfectly golden and crispy crust. Serve with butter, honey, or your favorite Southern toppings.
