Southern Skillet Cornbread is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Supper Club Saturday. This is the inaugural event for this group, having reformed out of the two groups Baking Bloggers and Multicooker Monday.
For this year, we will be doing general recipe postings on the first and last Saturdays of the month, with the last Saturday being called Potluck Party. So enjoy the recipes and see you again on the 29th for the next grouping!

For my first offering, I wanted to share my recipe for cornbread made without sugar. I know there are camps on either side.
For my preference, what I make mostly depends on mood or what I serve it with. With New year ham and beans or black-eyed peas, I find the sugarless Southern style to be perfect.

I have never made sugarless cornbread. I’ll have to give it a go.
This sounds spot on for me. IA spicy chutney pairs perfectly for us.
