Classic Cornbread

Sweet, moist, golden, and fluffy, this delectable side dish is a well known favorite. Perfect served with stews, soups, and almost every meal; it’s even great at breakfast, slathered with butter and served with a fried egg.
Everyone has a cornbread recipe in their family, this is the one scribble on stained notecards and jotted in the margins of recipe books in my family:
