Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, transfer the butter to a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the buttermilk and baking soda until fully incorporated.
Gradually mix in the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool slightly in the pan before serving. For an extra buttery finish, brush the top with additional melted butter right after it comes out of the oven.
Slice into squares and enjoy warm. Pair it with honey, butter, or your favorite toppings!
