A piece is about 200 kcal, with 4 g of protein, 28 g of carbs and 8 g of fat. The butter on top is extra.
Southern cornbread is savoury and crumbly, the Northern kind sweeter and more like cake. The count is close either way.
Tips
- 1Skip the butter on top, or spread it very thin. It is already moist.
- 2Have it with hoppin' John or chili instead of a roll as well.
