    This is an easy homemade cornbread recipe. The buttery, fluffy cornbread only takes 30 minutes to make. You can make it in a baking dish or cast iron skillet.

    Many cornbread recipes call for buttermilk, but it's not necessary. Regular milk, or nut milk, is a great alternative and will give you perfectly moist and fluffy cornbread.

    Cornbread Without Buttermilk goes great with chili, meatloaf, or vegetable soup.

    🥘 Ingredients

    ingredients for cornbread without buttermilk

    Flour: cornbread typically has a 1:1 ratio of flour and cornmeal

    Yellow Cornmeal: you can also use white cornmeal; the cornbread will just be paler 

    Sugar: ¼ cup will make it slightly sweet

    Salt: brings out the flavors

    Milk: adds moisture to the batter

    Eggs: two eggs make the cornbread fluffier and less crumbly

    Melted Butter: keeps the cornbread from drying out and adds a nice buttery flavor

    🔪 How to Make Cornbread

    4 steps to making cornbread

    1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    2. Add Eggs: Make a well in the center, add the eggs, and lightly beat.

    3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add milk and butter. Mix until everything comes together, don't overmix. A few lumps are okay.

    4. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    🥡 How to Store

    Store in an air-tight container. If you store it on the counter or pantry, it will keep for 1-3 days. In the fridge, it will last 4-5 days.             

    🙋‍♀️ FAQ               

    What is the difference between white and yellow corn meal, and can I use either?

    The only difference is in color. You can use white cornmeal if you can't find yellow. Cornbread made with white cornmeal will still be a pale yellow because of the butter and eggs.

    What temperature do I cook cornbread in a glass dish?

    Lower the oven temperature to 375F and bake for 5-10 minutes longer.

    How to make gluten-free cornbread?

    Sub out 1 cup of all-purpose flour for 1 cup of gluten-free flour.

    👩‍🍳Tips & Tricks

    You can make these into muffins too! The batter will make 12 muffins. Reduce the cooking time to 15 minutes.
