Ingredients

1 slice Crunchy Southern Cornbread, Master Cookbook Recipe # 128 (warm or room temperature)
1 cup Cold whole milk (or buttermilk for extra tang)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Optional: 1 small summer tomato, chopped

Instructions

Crumble: Take a good-sized piece of cornbread (it's best when it's still slightly warm!) and crumble it into a cereal bowl. You want a mix of large chunks and fine crumbs.
Pour: Cover the crumbled cornbread with cold milk. If you like a little more "zing," use buttermilk instead.
Season: Don't skip this part! Add a healthy pinch of salt and a good sprinkle of black pepper.
Optional Add-in: If it's summertime and you have fresh tomatoes, chop one up and add it to the bowl. The acidity of the tomato pairs perfectly with the creamy milk and salty cornmeal.
Enjoy: Grab a spoon and dive in!

Notes

Tammy’s Tip: "Now, some folks like it sweet, but in our house, we are 'salty and peppery' people! Using a high-quality, cold buttermilk really changes the game if you want that old-fashioned, sharp flavor. It’s like a Southern cereal that’s actually good for the soul!"
