Cornbread has a deep history in Southern cuisine. Native Americans introduced corn to the enslaved Africans in the south who learned under the Natives tutelage on how to grow, dry, mill, and cook corn. Some of the first recorded forms of cornbread consisted of cornmeal batter wrapped in collard leaves and buried in hot ash. The advent of cornbread was created in varying forms from flatcakes, muffins, to the present day savory cake.
