Southern corn bread
There are numerous corn bread in the southern states. Convenience stores and supermarkets sell the more standard-type loaves, but at home, people still make their own breads. As corn bread is best eaten as soon possible, homemade versions will be the most tasty. Corn breads only rarely use yeast and are relatively quick and easy to make. Southerners like white cornmeal for their breads, rather than the yellow meal preferred in the north, and the breads are generally much thinner. Wheat flour is added to these breads in varying proportions, but in southern corn bread neither wheat flour nor fat is added, so that the corn flavor is predominant. Other breads, such as rich corn bread, are made using cream, milk, butter and eggs. Corn pone is thought to be directly inspired by the Native Americans. It is a small, most loaf, made from cornmeal along with buttermilk and lard.
