Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, 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.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cornbread. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cornbread dry.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This quick buttermilk cornbread recipe is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed with any meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover buttermilk. With its moist and fluffy texture, and slightly sweet flavor, this cornbread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
