Buttermilk Cornbread




This is the cornbread recipe I used to go with the tortilla soup. Very tasty except next time I may reduce sugar a tad...it was a bit too sweet to go with the soup but other wise very good! Enjoy. The soup just gets better and better as leftovers too! Oh....and if you decide to make muffins instead of the 8-inch pan I would probably double the recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 pound butter
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 inch square pan.
Melt butter in large skillet. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended. Combine buttermilk with baking soda and stir into mixture in pan. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well blended and few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
