Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup margarine or oil (melted)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray and dusting it with cornmeal for that extra crunch and flavor.
-
Combine the flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. This forms the dry ingredient mixture, ensuring an even distribution of flavors and leavening agents.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted margarine or oil, and buttermilk until well blended. This creates a rich and creamy liquid mixture that will add moisture and richness to the cornbread.
-
Add the liquid mixture and the frozen corn kernels to the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and will result in a tender texture.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cornbread loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice and serve this delicious cornbread loaf warm, with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey, for an irresistible treat that will have everyone coming back for more!
