Homemade Cornbread
Description
This Homemade Cornbread is prepared by mixing melted unsalted butter and sugar, then whisking in eggs and buttermilk. A separate bowl holds the dry ingredients: cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. The wet ingredients are combined with the dry to create a batter that is slightly lumpy before baking.
The batter is poured into a greased 8x8-inch pan and baked at 350°F until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, resulting in a golden-brown crust. The baking causes the cornbread to rise and set with a soft crumb inside and a slightly sweet flavor balanced by buttery richness.
This bread works well as a side with soups, stews, or barbecue. Baking it in a square pan makes for easy slicing and serving at meals.

- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

- Whisk together 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another large mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and stir until combined. The batter will be lumpy.
