Moist Southern Cornbread
This cornbread recipe is rich in flavor and has a wonderful fluffy texture, thanks to the addition of creamed corn. It’s the perfect complement to any meal or can be enjoyed on its own with a pat of butter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup creamed corn
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or cast iron skillet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to distribute all the dry ingredients evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and creamed corn until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay!
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. You can give it a gentle shake to settle it in the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before cutting it into squares.
