There are many varieties of Cornbread but all contain cornmeal and are quick breads; that is, they are not leavened by yeast as traditional loaves. Cornbread is uniquely a product of the United States, as corn was used in North American cooking long before Europeans arrived on the continent.
In present times, cornbread is known as a staple of southern cuisine, with equal amounts of salt and sugar to accentuate the tastes of other food. Most cornbreads are baked and contain a heavy fat, such as lard or other shortening.
