Fried Cornbread Recipe


 

Fried cornbread is a Southern classic that brings together the nutty richness of cornmeal with a golden, crispy exterior. Often called “corn pones” or “hoecakes,” these little rounds of cornbread are made in a skillet instead of the oven, giving them that irresistible crispy edge. Fried cornbread pairs beautifully with savory meals like collard greens, BBQ, or chili, but it’s just as delicious on its own with a slather of butter or drizzle of honey!

These golden-brown cornbread bites are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The perfect combination of flavors and textures will leave you craving more. Enjoy this special occasion treat for a satisfying side dish.

1 cup cornmeal
