Description

The best homemade cornbread recipe uses cornmeal and buttermilk to bake a moist, sweet, tender, and golden cornbread—just like Grandma made!

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan.
3 Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly whisk in eggs.
4 Combine buttermilk and baking soda in a small bowl; whisk mixture into the skillet. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well-blended and only a few lumps remain.
5 Pour batter into the prepared pan.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
7 Serve and enjoy!
