Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet cornbread)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or a cast-iron skillet for a traditional touch.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar (if using), baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
- Combine and Stir:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan or skillet, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before cutting. Serve warm, with butter or honey if desired.
