Homemade Cornbread
Homemade Cornbread
- 1/2 cup butter (or reconstituted powdered butter)
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs (or 4 TBLS powdered eggs + 1/2 water)
1 cup buttermilk (or 1 TBLS lemon juice + 1 scant cup of milk)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch square pan.
- Grind popcorn in your wheat grinder if desired to make homemade cornmeal. You don’t have to for this recipe, but I highly recommend it. I used white popcorn because I like it better but it doesn’t matter what kind you use.
- 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.
