Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup buttermilk (regular or low-fat)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of self-rising flour
  • 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
  • In a bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs & oil; whisk until combined.
  • Add flour & cornmeal; stir until no lumps remain.
  • Pour batter into a greased pan & bake for 25 mins or until golden brown.
  • Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • For cornbread with extra flavor, try adding diced jalapenos or chopped cilantro to the batter!
  • If you are using a different type of pan, such as an 8-inch square pan, the baking time may vary. Keep an eye on it and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Feel free to experiment with adding other ingredients to your cornbread for a unique twist! Try adding crumbled bacon or shredded cheese for extra flavor.
  • If you like your cornbread extra sweet, you can add more sugar to taste.
  • For an extra kick of flavor, try adding in some diced green onions or garlic powder to the batter!
  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This will help ensure that everything mixes together evenly.
