This homemade cornbread recipe is subtly sweet with a tender crumb. It is a traditional Northern style cornbread that pairs well with chili and holiday meals.
3Tablespoons(42 g) unsalted butter, melted and still warm
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425° F. Generously grease a metal 8x8 baking pan with butter. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl (or directly in the liquid measuring cup), whisk together the buttermilk, milk and eggs. Pour the mixture into the bowl of the dry ingredients. Whisk just until combined (do not overmix). Add the melted butter and stir just until incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan gently tap on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake at 425° F for 23 to 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then cut with a butter knife and serve warm.
