Homemade Cornbread
Homemade Cornbread combines cornmeal, flour, and buttermilk with melted butter and sugar to form a moist, sweet bread with a golden crust. Leavening from baking soda and powder creates a tender crumb. The batter is lumpy before baking but produces a soft texture once cooked. This cornbread pairs well with hearty meals or as a side dish.
