Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 9
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup melted butter (plus more for greasing and serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cornbread to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
8. Serve warm, with additional melty butter and a drizzle of honey if desired.

Helpful Tips:

• For a slightly sweeter cornbread, increase the sugar to 1/3 cup.
• Add a cup of corn kernels for extra texture and flavor.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
• Make it spicy by adding 1/2 cup of diced jalapeños.

Storage Instructions:

Store any leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Pairings:

This Cornbread pairs wonderfully with BBQ dishes like grilled chicken, ribs, or a summer salad. Serve it alongside a bowl of chili for a comforting dinner, or enjoy it as a sweet treat by spreading it with jam or fresh honey.
