Hey y'all! Today, I'm thrilled to share with you a cherished recipe straight from my grandma's kitchen – her Famous Cornbread. This recipe has been passed down through generations, and let me tell you, it's a true Southern gem. So, gather 'round and get ready to savor the warm, comforting flavors of this classic dish!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional for a sweeter cornbread)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a cast-iron skillet or 9x9-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
