I also DON'T like the bitter after taste so many corn breads have. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!

Categories     Bread Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room temperature, for baking pan
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (for a fluffier cornbread, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda (if using), and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, and eggs (mixture might appear curdled). Add to flour mixture and stir just until combined (do not overmix). Transfer to baking pan and smooth top.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use stone-ground cornmeal, but avoid using degerminated cornmeal, which will make your cornbread dry and crumbly.
  • Use buttermilk. Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to cornbread and also helps to make it moist and tender. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread to rise and brown properly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the cornbread.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will allow the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet or savory, there's a cornbread recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give cornbread a try. You won't be disappointed!
