My aunt in Savannah makes her cornbread with a cup of buttermilk and a tablespoon of bacon grease.
I just visited her last month and finally wrote it down, but does anyone else's family have a secret ingredient like that for a basic recipe?

Oh my grandma always used to save the bacon grease for her cornbread too... it just makes it taste like home. I finally started doing it myself and it's a total game changer.

Seriously, that old school trick is the best. I read somewhere that the fat carries all those smoky flavors way better than butter or oil. It's like the secret ingredient that makes everything taste richer.
