My Buttermilk Cornbread recipe is not only quick and easy; it makes an incredibly tasty and moist cornbread that your whole family will love!
I wanted to re-share my cornbread recipe today because I never realized how many people buy boxed cornbread mixes.
I'm not sure if they think homemade cornbread is harder to make, or that it's less expensive, or perhaps they've never had a good recipe.
Whatever the reason may be, let me show you how to make a delicious cornbread that is easy and inexpensive, and I guarantee you will love it!

- Add the baking soda and salt, and mix well.
- Stir in the cornmeal and flour. Mix until a few lumps remain.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. A toothpick should come out nearly clean with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
