All Time Best Cornbread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square pan.
• Melt butter in large skillet. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended. Combine buttermilk with baking soda and stir into mixture in pan. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well blended and few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F convection oven, fan on).
• Heat 12" cast iron skillet in oven until it is quite hot, 10-15 minutes. When hot, oil pan with vegetable oil or cooking spray. (for less thick bread, batter is enough for two 12" skillets).
• In large bowl, combine eggs, butter, milk, cheese, sour cream and corn; mix well.
• Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Add to the milk mixture and stir until well combined.
• Pour batter into hot pan.
• Bake until golden brown on top and batter is "set," about 25 minutes. The cornbread may seem wet or moist, but will be somewhat firm to the touch. Let it cool in the pan, the residual heat will finish cooking the bread. (Sometimes it's done enough to eat straight from oven, when bottom is crustiest!).
• To serve, reheat in pan and loosen bread while hot with butter knife around the edges and turn out onto warm plate.
• Drizzle with honey, if desired. It's so rich, though, you may not need it!
