MOIST NORTHERN CORNBREAD (CORNBREAD BUTTERMILK)



Moist Northern Cornbread (Cornbread Buttermilk) image

I wanted a moist, tender recipe and this one fits the bill. My own twist on a classic recipe. It's even great the next day! You can find the powdered buttermilk in the baking isle at Wal-Mart or your favorite grocery store. It keeps a long time and is a great kitchen essential. TIP: Spray cast iron pan with non-stick spray and place in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Pour in cornbread until cups are 2/3 full. Cooks in half the time and tastes even better!

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your cornbread a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Use the right type of cornmeal. There are two main types of cornmeal: coarse and fine. Coarse cornmeal will give your cornbread a more rustic texture, while fine cornmeal will give it a finer texture. For the best results, use a combination of both coarse and fine cornmeal.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help the cornbread to rise and brown properly.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help the cornbread to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It's easy to make, and with these tips, you can make sure that your cornbread turns out perfect every time.
