This is BETHANY WEATHERSBY's from AllRecipes.com grandmother's recipe. I must say it is the best cornbread I've ever made and consume. It is sweet and moist, fast and easy to make. In the time it takes to preheat my oven I had prepared the recipe and ready to bake. Tastes so much better than the box kind. I had to put the recipe here because I keep all my favorite recipes on recipezaar.com.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a more flavorful and tender texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's a fine grind.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to cornbread and helps to make it moist. 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 make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients 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: Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving so that it has a chance to set. This will make it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, this cornbread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and comforting side dish, give Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread a try.
