Sweet Cornbread

[explorer0713]

This recipe is sweeter than my usual cornbread recipe but not overly so.   It is also moister than usual and doesn't dry out overnight as some do.

Bonus - super simple.  It would be a good recipe to use for a cooking lesson with a child.


Sweet Cornbread

1 1/4 c cornmeal
1 1/4 c buttermilk*

1 c flour
1 c sugar
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 T vanilla
2 eggs, slightly beaten
5 T butter/margarine, melted and cooled


1.  Combine the cormeal and buttermilk and let set 5 minutes. 
2.  Add remaining ingredients.  Stir until combined but don't beat.
3.  Pour into a greased 9 inch round cake pan, smooth out top with a rubber spatula if necessary.
4.  Bake at 350° F for 40 minutes.

That's it!

* - I didn't have as much buttermilk left to use up as I thought I did and found myself short.  I made up the difference with some sour cream I also needed to use up - about half of each.  It worked out just fine.

I've been craving cornbread -- I think I'll pick up some buttermilk and try this tonight.
