Buttermilk Cornbread



Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan and set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over low/med heat. Once melted, remove the pan from heat and stir in the sugar. Quickly add the eggs and beat till well blended (quickly so they don't cook). Combine the buttermilk and the baking soda in a large cup and add to the other ingredients. Stir till smooth. Stir in the cornmeal, flour, and salt until well blended (leaving a few lumps). Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean).

Difficulty: Medium
Time to Make: about 15 minutes prep plus 40 minutes cook time
