I needed a good corn bread recipe a few weeks ago and when I saw Paula Deens recipe for moist and easy corn bread I had to try it. I added honey and heavy cream just to see how moist I could get it and it was awesome! You dont have to add those, just follow the recipe and it will still be amazing.
Moist and Easy Cornbread
6 Tblsp unsalted butter, plus enough butter to coat cooking dish
1 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup flour
1 Tblsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or heavy cream if you want it crazy moist)
(I added 1/4 cup honey to sweeten it up a tad)
Preheat oven to 425. Lightly greese an 8inch baking dish. In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a seperate bowl, mix together the eggs, buttermilk, butter and honey. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and fold together until there are no dry spots (the batter will be lumpy). Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake until the top is golden brown and tester inserted into the middle of the corn bread comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. EnJOY!
