The Best Cornbread Recipe
This easy cornbread recipe is a classic and can be made in a flash, resulting in a sweet, moist cornbread (using real corn!) that goes great with chili or ham and beans.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 egg well beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup canned corn
- ½ cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Once the oven is heated, place your baking pan, with the ½ cup of butter in it, in the oven to warm while you’re mixing the rest of the batter. Remove from the oven after about 10 minutes and allow the butter to cool slightly.
- Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the beaten egg, the buttermilk, and the melted butter to the well.
- Mix the batter until just combined, then fold in the cup of canned corn.
- Pour batter into heated pan and bake the cornbread until the top begins to brown slightly and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean (about 25 minutes).
- Allow the cornbread to cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
