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:

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before baking will help it develop a more tender texture.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: Baking the cornbread in a hot oven will help it rise and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the cornbread warm: Cornbread is best served warm, but it can also be eaten at room temperature.
