📋 Recipe Notes
- Cracklins: These are fried pork skin and fat pieces, different from pork rinds as they usually contain some meat. You can find them at Southern markets or specialty stores.
- Texture: Expect a hearty, dense bread with chewy, crunchy bites of cracklins throughout.
- Skillet Tip: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet ensures a crispy bottom crust and easy release.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Pairs beautifully with collard greens, black-eyed peas, fried cabbage, or bean soups.
- Top with a pat of butter or hot honey for a sweet-and-savory twist.
- Best served hot from the skillet—great for family gatherings or holiday meals.
✨ Result: A golden, rustic cornbread with cracklin-crisp edges and a rich, savory interior that’s pure Southern tradition.
