Great recipe! 😋👍
I left off the sugar,
But I added:
1 - Cp drained canned Chick Peas,
½ - Tsp black pepper
2 - Tbls whole sour cream
Black pepper was added to the dry ingredients and mixed well.
I drained the chick peas and added them just prior to adding the buttermilk.
I added / stirred the sour cream into the buttermilk and made sure not to exceed the total recipe volume for the buttermilk.
I drained the chick peas
Everything else I left the same as the recipe.
Someone asked (I think.), " What are cracklings / cracklens? "
Answer: Simply put, 'Pork Rinds', or the thin sliced and baked Pork Skins.
AKA pork skin and sometimes along with some of the fatty layer just underneath.

This was very good and easy but it needed a little salt. Next time I make it I will add maybe a tsp. I also add a little black pepper.
I made this to take to work and everyone loved it!!

As a southerner, this cornbread was excellent. Mine turned out darker than the picture, but still tasted great!

Loved cracklin cornbread when I was a child. Saw this recipe and thought I would try it. It was so bad my grandmother was rolling in her grave. This was the worst cornbread I've ever tried.

I saw the picture and it made my mouth water for cracklin' cornbread. Had to try it! This is terrific! I never tried it with the butter-we always just used meat grease. lol This is terrific just as is!
