This is an easy and excellent cornbread recipe I got from allrecipes.com. Very, very bad for you, of course, but we ate all the crumbs. I'm making a couple of modifications on technique here from the original recipe.
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup corn meal
- 1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 375F. Grease an 8" x 8" square baking pan.
Put butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until it melts. Mix in the sugar. Add the eggs and beat using a whisk or eggbeater until well combined. In a separate bowl combine the buttermilk with the baking soda. Add the buttermilk to the butter mixture and mix well. Add the flower, cornmeal and salt and mix well again.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry - about 28-30 minutes.
