Buttermilk Corn Bread

I made this cornbread to go with the black bean soup and this is probably the only corn bread version (of the many i've tried) that my husband actually enjoyed.... I quite like corn breads especially the chewy ones but my husband is not a big fan but this one was an exception. I've made this in a loaf pan and also in muffin tins but prefer the loaf pan version better.. had more crust to it that way.. but I only took pics of the muffins.

BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD


Ingredients:

Yellow cornmeal - 1/2 cup
White whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup
Buttermilk - 3/4 cup
Butter/Margarine - 3 tbsp
Egg - 1 medium
Sugar - 1/3 cup
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp

Method:
1) Melt margarine/butter in a pan over low heat. Use a bit of the margarine to coat the loaf pan. Allow it to cool just a bit. Add sugar, buttermilk, eggs and salt. Using a whisk, mix it up well.

2) Finally add cornmeal, flour & Baking soda. Whisk till there are no big lumps and is mostly smooth.

3) Pour this into the greased loaf pan and allow to bake in a 375F oven for 20 minutes or till done.

  19. Thanks Suma, Happy Cook, Cham & Anu.

    Indo, that is true about muffin tins :)

    Thank you Mahima, Anudivya & Usha.

    Redchillies - yes a good and satisfying combination.

    Thank you Ratna.

    Veggiebelly, so true.. rava would be an interesting substitution I think.. never tried it though.

    Thank you Sowmya, Sujatha, Roopa, Shama, Srivalli, Srikar & Uma.

    Sra, good catch and definitely nothing wrong with your eyes. To a part of the batter i stirred in some pepper jack cheese to see how that would work but I wasn't thrilled with it.. so didn't include that in my recipe.

    Thank you Ramya, Lisa & Raks.
