Southern Bread Recipes

I won't forget the cheese straws that my mother made for my father. The only difference was that she did not add cayenne pepper. These make wonderful hors d'oevres.

My Great-Grandma used to make this for us whenever we would spend the night at her cabin in Paris, Arkansas. I make it now for my kids and it brings back such wonderful memories! It's absolutely magnificent warm with some sweetened butter.

This can't-fail recipe is very easy to make. They are the only rolls I make anymore. Everyone wants the recipe.

Hoe cake is a Southern bread that is cooked in an iron skillet, like cornbread. This recipe stems back to my great-great grandmother. My father has made this recipe for years, and it is always requested from his grandchildren. A slice of hoe cake will warm your insides -- slathered with some homemade apple butter alongside of some butter beans, freshly sliced tomatoes and a good tall glass of sweet tea. I promise your family will love this truly Southern recipe!

This recipe is for those people that do not like sweet cornbread. For me, this is my comfort food and what I grew up on.

Creamy and comforting side dish that goes well with a hearty beef stew or winter-time soup. My grandfather made this and shared his recipe with me. Dish out with a spoon and serve with plenty of real butter. Enjoy!

This is a rich loaf with sour cream and canned corn for extra flavor. Try adding chopped peppers or onions for variations on the theme.

This is a very old time recipe. My great grandparents used to eat this in a bowl with milk on it.

These are by far the best rolls I've ever had! My neighbor's mom makes these and passed the recipe along. They are scrumptious! This recipe makes a lot of rolls. You can freeze the dough after forming it into rolls.

A traditional Southern favorite - use crumbled fried bacon if pork cracklin's are not available in your store.

Yummy sweet potato biscuits that rival Steamer's biscuits in Chincoteague, Virginia. You'll taste no better than this! My family hates sweet potatoes, but they snatch these up every time I make them! You could also substitute pumpkin for the sweet potato and cardamom for the nutmeg.

This is a wonderful corn pone recipe from my friend's grandmother. Once you prepare this dish, it will become a staple. It is moist and delicious and goes great with barbeque and other Southern-style dishes.

This bread is the best when baked in a black cast iron pan. Once the bread is in the oven, start 'cookin down' those collard greens, black eyed peas and hawg jaws. It's a New Years tradition. It'll change your luck !!!

True Southern corn bread: crispy, unsweetened, and dry enough to suck all the moisture out of your mouth! Serve hot with butter, syrup, black-eyed peas--you decide!

If you can't get to New Orleans, try this recipe to recreate these beignets. They can't be beat with a cup of coffee! Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Have been perfecting this cornbread recipe for years. My Southern family does not like sweet cornbread. It is hard to find a good recipe. Should be moist and buttery. Top with butter to serve.

Biscuits are hotly debated, but to me these bring together all the best aspects of any great biscuit. They are just salty enough, crispy around the edges, soft and tender in the middle, and never dry or crumbly. There's nothing dusty or bland about these beautiful Southern cream biscuits!
