Buttermilk Cornbread

original recipe ~ allrecipes.com

This was my first try making cornbread and everyone raved about it.  Why try anything else?

1/2 c salted butter
2/3 c white sugar
2 eggs
1 c buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c cornmeal
1 c flour
1/4 tsp salt

Melt butter in skillet.  Remove from heat & stir in sugar.  Quickly add eggs & beat until well blended.  Combine buttermilk w/ baking soda & stir into butter mixture in pan.  Stir in cornmeal, flour & salt until well blended & few lumps remain.  Bake in greased 8x8 pan at 350 for 30 mins (use toothpick test).  I think my oven cooks hot, so you might need to increase the temp or time.

Serve with honey butter.  Delicious.
