Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

Recipe from allrecipes.com

I'm always on the search for the perfect recipe.  I needed a killer cornbread recipe and this fit the bill.  Buttermilk can be a little expensive so the next best thing is to use sour milk.  To do this the ratio is 1 cup of milk to 1 Tbl of lemon juice and let it sit for a few minutes.  The milk will start to curdle and that's okay.  I believe some people use white vinegar also.  This is just what I've always done.  I have to substitute other milk sources a lot and Rice Milk soured works well in this recipe.  I also use the microwave to melt the butter and use the same bowl to mix the remaining of the ingredients.
