Buttermilk cornbread

More of Memorial day post. As I mentioned before, along with smoked meat and sweet tea, I baked some cornbread to go with the 'don't mess with Texas' theme.

In Dubai, I used to bake cornbread time to time for my good friend who's from Kenya, who loves her cornbread but somehow I never baked it for my party. Texas theme reminded me of this recipe I always loved and I am glad I baked it again!

 

Soft, moist bread with such nutty and sweet taste. So simple and delicious! What I love about this recipe is that, it is so simple that you only need one pot for the batter. Oh, one time I actually thought the batter looked different but since I was in a hurry I just baked it and after all the bread was gone, I realized I forgot eggs! Buttermilk makes it so moist, I didn't even notice I forgot eggs. Try this goodness, you won't have to look for another cornbread recipe.
