Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1-1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 large egg

Instruction

  • Position an oven rack in the center and heat your oven to 400F degrees. Spray an 8-inch square (or 9-inch round) baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the buttermilk and egg until they're well blended.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir just until everything is moistened. (Don't overmix or your cornbread will be tough.)
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake in the center of the oven until your cornbread is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
  • Cut into 12 pieces.
  • Serve warm.
