traditional Southern corn bread with vegetarian "cracklin's"69

Traditional Southern Corn Bread Recipe -- Vegetarian

by Melissa Ray Davis

This is traditional Southern corn bread, but with a vegetarian twist (normally, bacon and bacon grease are used). This is not the more common sweet cake-like cornbread, but instead, as my husband puts it, "substantial, sweet and nutty with the flavor of the corn but with an earthy undercurrent, and having a rustic, heavy-crumbed feel in the mouth." It is a wonderful side dish that will fill out any meal. published 7 months ago
