Ingredients

All-purpose flour
Sugar
Baking powder
Salt
Buttermilk
Eggs
Melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven and prepare your baking dish.
Whisk together the dry ingredients: cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
For an extra moist result, ensure your butter is melted but not hot when added.
You can substitute a portion of the buttermilk with sour cream for added richness.
This cornbread tastes best served warm, straight from the oven.
