Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until smooth.
In a separate small bowl, stir the baking soda into the buttermilk until dissolved. Slowly pour the buttermilk mixture into the wet ingredients, whisking gently until combined.
In a large bowl, mix together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy this moist and rich cornbread warm on its own or with a pat of butter, honey, or your favorite topping.
