Directions
365 Day Buttermilk Cornbread,from texascooking.com,THIS is the BEST cornbread I have ever had had / or made!
We order in stone ground organic white corn meal ordered off of the web. It is pretty inexpensive! I like the stone ground because it has a courser grind to it. use the same recipe but use the whole pint of buttermilk. I delay adding in the baking powder and baking soda for 10 minutes allowing the corn meal to pick up a bit of the moisture from the buttermilk. I then add in the baking powder and baking soda, then bake as directed.,This is the cornbread that I grew up with in Texas. You can’t serve beans or peas without the accompaniment of homemade cornbread. It’s a staple in country cooking — at least at my house. Easy to make and you can certainly add corn, chilies, and/or cheese if you want a fancier version. Made for Spring PAC, March 2013.

Note: Cornbread Batter Should Be Mixed, Poured and Baked Quickly. as Soon as the Leavening Ingredients (that Would Be the Baking Soda, Baking Powder and Buttermilk) Are Combined, the Chemical Action That Makes the Cornbread Rise Is Sparked. No Need to Hurry; Just Don't Mix Up the Batter and Then Make a Phone Call Before You Pop It in the Oven. |
