MOM'S SWEET BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD



Mom's Sweet Buttermilk Corn Bread image

This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 tablespoons corn oil or bacon drippings
3 cups self-rising cornmeal
2 1/2 to 3 cups well-shaken buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into a well-seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet (see Cook's Note) and place over medium-high heat. Pour the cornmeal into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the cornmeal and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. With a fork, stir in enough of the buttermilk to make a batter that is thick but can be easily poured into the hot skillet. You may not need all 3 cups.
  • Carefully pour the batter into the skillet. The oil will come up around the edges. Use the back of a spoon to smooth this over the top of the batter. Continue to heat on the stovetop for 1 minute, then transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the cornbread until browned on top, about 20 minutes. Immediately turn the cornbread out onto a cooling rack to keep the crust crisp.

MOM'S SOUTHERN CORNBREAD



Mom's Southern Cornbread image

My mom has been making this cornbread for over 40 years-I'm sure she got it from my grandma who was from Kentucky. It's not a sweet cornbread-just as good though. My father would take the leftovers and break a piece up in a glass of milk and eat it like cereal. It's very good. We always cook this in a cast iron skillet.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your cornbread a tangy flavor and help it rise properly. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, 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.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F before baking the cornbread. This will help it rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool before cutting it: Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting it. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Mom's Buttermilk Cornbread is a classic Southern recipe that is easy to make and always a hit. With its slightly sweet, slightly tangy flavor and moist, tender crumb, this cornbread is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it with a hearty bowl of chili, a pot of beans, or just a pat of butter, Mom's Buttermilk Cornbread is sure to please everyone at the table.
