Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal ((or polenta))
1/4 cup brown sugar ((or white granulated sugar))
1 teaspoon baking powder ((optional: yields a fluffier cornbread))
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk (shake before measuring)
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C | 400F and position a rack in the middle. Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or 9-inch square baking dish with butter and place skillet/dish into the oven to heat up. (Alternatively for cast iron skillets: heat 1/2 cup of unmelted butter in your cast iron over stove top on medium heat until melted, turn heat off then allow the butter to cool slightly before adding to the batter.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder (If using), baking soda and salt.
  • Make a well in the centre and add the buttermilk, honey and eggs. Mix together well to combine, then add in the slightly cooled melted butter. Mix again until 'just' combined (don't over mix).
  • Carefully remove your 'hot' pan or dish from the oven with oven mitts, and pour the batter into the hot skillet or dish. Listen to that sizzle! That's what you want.
  • Bake until the cornbread begins to brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean (about 20-23 minutes). Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

MOM'S SWEET BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD



Mom's Sweet Buttermilk Corn Bread image

This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.

GRANDMOTHER'S BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

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.

EASY CORNBREAD RECIPE



Easy Cornbread Recipe image

Amazing honey cornbread made with buttermilk and cornmeal.

Provided by Katie Clark

Categories     Bread

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup melted butter
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Spray or grease a baking dish (I used 8×11. Could use a pie pan or a cast-iron skillet)
  • Mix wet ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Mix dry ingredients in another bowl.
  • Mix wet into dry
  • Pour into a pan
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your cornbread a tangy flavor and help it to rise properly. If you don't have fresh 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.
  • Use room temperature ingredients. Room temperature ingredients will help your cornbread to mix together more evenly and rise properly. Take your eggs, buttermilk, and butter out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you start baking.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk cornbread is a classic Southern dish that is both delicious and easy to make. With its sweet and moist texture, it is a perfect accompaniment to any meal. Whether you are serving it with fried chicken, barbecue, or just a bowl of soup, buttermilk cornbread is sure to be a hit.
