Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  • Pour batter into prepared dish or skillet and spread evenly.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

For a sweeter cornbread, increase sugar to 1/3 cup. Serve warm with honey or butter.
