Description

My Perfect Cornbread Recipe is fluffy, moist and packed with tons of sweet corn flavor.  Cornbread is easy to make and goes great along side your favorite soup or chili.  My signature cornbread recipe calls for actual corn kernels to be added into the cornbread batter, to create a sweet and savory bread with tons of fresh corn flavor.  Make a batch today and enjoy all week long with all your hearty fall meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all purpose flour*
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter, cool before adding
  • 2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil, like canola
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernals
  • Honey and softened butter, for serving

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F and greasing a 9-inch oven-safe dish (it doesn’t need to be exactly 9 inches, just close).  I like to grease mine with butter, but oil will also work.
  2. Add flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything together and make a small well in the middle.  Next, add the eggs, melted butter, oil, and buttermilk. Mix everything together well with a large mixing spoon, not an electric mixer.
  3. Let the cornbread batter sit in the bowl and rest for about 15 minutes, this will allow the flour and cornmeal to hydrate and the baking powder to start working.  After 15 minutes, add in the corn kernels and gently fold them in.  Transfer batter to your baking dish and let sit for another 5 minutes before putting in the oven.  This step is optional, but will help the levening agents work better, which will create a fluffy cornbread recipe.
  4. Bake cornbread until golden brown on the top and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.  I would set a timer for about 25 minutes and then check it occasionally until it’s done. Enjoy with butter and honey.

Notes

*Scoop the flour straight from the package and then level it off.
