Cornbread is a traditional staple of rural cuisine in the United States of America, especially in the Southern United States. A typical contemporary northern US cornbread recipe contains half wheat flour, half cornmeal, milk, eggs, sugar, leavening agent and salt, resulting in a bread that is somewhat lighter and sweeter than its more traditional southern counterpart, which is normally made from a mixture of cornmeal, buttermilk, salt, eggs, lard or bacon fat, and leavening agent. This bread will tend to be denser, meant more as an accompaniment than as a bread meant to stand on its own.
