Certainly! Buttermilk cornbread is a classic Southern dish that’s easy to make and pairs well with various meals. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cornmeal

- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Stir in the melted butter and mix until evenly incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serve the buttermilk cornbread as a side dish with chili, soup, barbecue, or any meal of your choice. It’s delicious on its own or with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
