Mom's Quick Buttermilk Cornbread
Description
This buttermilk cornbread recipe starts by creaming melted butter and sugar, then whisking in eggs and buttermilk for moisture and lift. Baking soda is added as the leavening agent, balanced by the acidity of buttermilk. Cornmeal and all-purpose flour provide the characteristic texture and subtle corn flavor, while a touch of salt enhances taste.
The batter is baked in a greased 9x9 inch pan at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, producing a cornbread with a browned top and soft interior in about 20 minutes. This basic preparation yields moist, slightly sweet cornbread suitable for everyday meals or as a side.
The recipe notes suggest options to make skillet cornbread by pouring batter into a preheated cast iron pan or baking muffins for portion control. Baking times adjust slightly for these forms but maintain the same overall flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9x9 baking pan.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth, about 60-90 seconds. Whisk in the eggs until well blended, about 30 seconds.
- Add in the baking soda, stir to combine, and then slowly pour in the buttermilk while you stir. Add in the cornmeal, flour, and salt and stir until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake in the 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes, until the top starts to brown.
Notes
- For skillet cornbread, preheat an 8 or 10-inch cast iron skillet before pouring batter, and bake 20–25 minutes.
- To make cornbread muffins, line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease, and bake about 20 minutes.
