Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

In a large bowl, mix together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, buttermilk and butter.

Pour buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and fold together until there are no dry spots (the batter will be lumpy).

Pour batter into prepared baking dish.

Bake until the top is golden brown and tester inserted into the middle of the cornbread comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove the cornbread from the oven and cool 10 minutes before serving.
