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.

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.
