Cornbread
Cornbread is a delicious corn meal-based bread that is most commonly served as a side dish. Depending on where you eat it or who makes it, cornbread may be sweet or savory. Classically it would have been made with all cornmeal and cooked in a cast-iron skillet, but has since evolved into more of a cake-like side dish.
How to Make Homemade Cornbread from Scratch
Follow these simple instructions for making this homemade cornbread from scratch.
Mix the eggs, butter, and buttermilk in a large bowl until completely combined.
Next, add in the dry ingredients and whisk or fold together until combined.
Transfer the batter to a well-seasoned 10” cast iron skillet or a 13×9 casserole dish sprayed with no-stick spray.
Bake in the oven at 400° for 25 minutes in a skillet or 20 minutes in a casserole dish.
Slice and serve it with butter.
Recipe Chef Notes + Tips
Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 1 day ahead of time before serving.
How to Heat: If you like your cornbread warm you can place your desired amount wrapped in foil and baked at 325° for 3-5 minutes. You can also warm in the microwave.
How to Store: Cover and keep at room temperature for 4 days. Cover and keep in the refrigerator for 7 days. This will freeze well covered for up to 3 months.
The sugar in this recipe is optional.
You can use bread flour but if you do so, you will need to add an additional egg.
