Homemade Cornbread Recipe
Description
Homemade Cornbread Recipe blends simple ingredients like flour, cornmeal, sugar, and buttermilk to produce a classic bread with a mildly sweet taste and tender, moist texture. The recipe includes baking powder for leavening and salt for balance. The preparation involves combining dry and wet ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, preserving the bread's lightness.
The method calls for baking the batter in a greased pan at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean, resulting in a golden crust and moist interior. This cornbread fits well with savory dishes such as soups and stews, or it can be enjoyed with honey butter for added flavor.
Substitutions such as soured milk for buttermilk can be used without losing the rise or flavor. Optional mix-ins like corn kernels, cheddar cheese, or jalapeno can be added to customize texture and taste. The recipe's flexibility and balanced sweetness make it a reliable choice for various meal settings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg room temperature
- 1 cup buttermilk or soured milk, see notes
- ⅓ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar with milk, let it rest 5 minutes to mimic buttermilk's effect.
- Optional additions such as corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, or diced jalapeno can be stirred into the batter before baking for variation.
- Cornbread pairs nicely with honey butter or as a side for dipping into soups, stews, or chili.
