Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

This recipe got EXCELLENT reviews so its no wonder that it was a winner at dinner time!!!  Some things are just worth the extra time and effort, and this my friends, is one of them! And besides...none of those nasty preservatives that you'd be eating with Krustez boxed cornbread. :)
