\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

Flour<\/strong>: All-purpose flour is the backbone of cornbread and makes sure it\u2019s neither too crumbly nor too cakey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornmeal<\/strong> is the star of the show. It\u2019s what gives the bread the signature gritty texture, sweet, nutty flavor, and beautiful color. Yellow cornmeal is the traditional choice. You can use coarse or fine. But if you have neither, polenta will work in a pinch. White cornmeal is another great substitute, but it will not give the bread the yellow hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buttermilk<\/strong> makes the bread moist and subtly tangy, something you\u2019ll love with the sweetness of the cornmeal. Buttermilk also makes the bread rich without being too heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking powder<\/strong> makes your cornbread light and fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking soda<\/strong> makes the bread rise and helps it brown. Make sure both the soda and powder are active and fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt<\/strong> enhances and balances the overall flavor. Without it, the cornbread might taste flat and dull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong> adds a touch of sweetness. You can use whatever is at hand\u2014raw, cane, brown, or regular white. You can even make a cornbread recipe with honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs<\/strong> bind the cornbread batter, holding the ingredients together while also adding moisture and richness. Lightly beating them helps distribute them evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter<\/strong> makes the bread rich and buttery. I used salted butter for that lovely savory flavor. Keep a tablespoon of butter aside for greasing your baking pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
