PERFECT CORNBREAD... EVERY TIME!
Promise me you will try this one!!! I guarantee a moist, slightly sweet, NOT crumbly corn bread, with NO bitter after taste. I have tried so many corn bread recipes my family is sick of trying them. I have created this recipe from my trials. I like my corn bread to have a nice corn flavor, to be moist and not crumble, and I like it a little sweet. I also DON'T like the bitter after taste so many corn breads have. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!

Steps:
- Melt butter, add sugar and eggs stirring well. Combine buttermilk and soda, then add to egg mixture. Add corn meal and flour and salt. Mix well and pour into greased 9" square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Tips for Making Perfect Cornbread:
- Use fresh or frozen corn kernels for the best flavor. Canned corn can be used in a pinch, but it will not produce the same results.
- Use a heavy skillet or griddle to cook the cornbread. This will help to create a crispy crust and evenly cooked interior.
- Preheat the skillet or griddle over medium heat before adding the batter. This will help to prevent the cornbread from sticking.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense cornbread.
- Pour the batter into the preheated skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Serve the cornbread hot with butter and honey.

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. By following the tips above, you can make perfect cornbread that is moist, flavorful, and has a crispy crust. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give cornbread a try!
