CORN BREAD LOAF
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9 x 5-inch loaf pan (I use 9x 13-inch pan). Dust pan with cornmeal and shake out excess. Mix first 6 ingredients together in large bowl. Whisk eggs, oil, milk and buttermilk in medium bowl. Add egg mixture and corn to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes, then reduce temp to 325 and continue baking until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about an hour.
Tips:
- Choose the right cornmeal: For the best flavor and texture, use a medium or fine-ground cornmeal. Coarse-ground cornmeal will result in a gritty loaf of bread.
- Use fresh buttermilk: Buttermilk helps to give cornbread its characteristic tangy flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the bread to rise and brown properly. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking.
- Let the bread cool before serving: Cornbread is best served warm, but it should be allowed to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a popular side dish for main courses such as fried chicken, ribs, and chili.
