Cornbread


Cornbread



½ c. butter
2/3 c. white sugar (you can cut some – this is very sweet)
2 eggs
1 c. buttermilk (1 T lemon juice + 1 c. milk works)
½ t. baking soda
1 c. cornmeal
1 c. all-purpose flour
½ t. salt


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