Buttermilk Cornbread

Ingredients Needed:

How to make Buttermilk Cornbread:

Melt butter in skillet or in the microwave. Remove from heat and stir in sugar and then add eggs and beat until well blended.

Combine buttermilk with baking soda and then stir into mixture.

Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until combined, but don’t over-mix the batter. You don’t want any big lumps of flour or cornmeal, but the batter doesn’t need to be completely smooth.

Bake. Pour batter into a greased 8 inch square pan and bake at 375 for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8 inch square pan.
  • Melt butter and add to a mixing bowl. Stir in sugars until well combined. Add eggs and stir well.
  • Combine buttermilk with baking soda and stir into the bowl.
  • Add cornmeal, flour, and salt and stir until combined. Avoid over-mixing–the batter doesn't need to be completely smooth.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 22-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

*Buttermilk Substitution – If you don’t have buttermilk, no problem! Add one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a liquid measuring cup, then fill the cup with milk to the 1 cup line. 
Storing: Leftover cornbread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. (It will dry out the longer it sits out, so I think it’s best enjoyed the day of baking.)
Freezing Instructions: You can freeze cornbread in an airtight, freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and rewarm gently in the microwave.
