2. Mixing the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.

3. Incorporating the Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and honey (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

4. Combining the Mixtures:

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the two mixtures together until just combined, avoiding overmixing the batter.

5. Filling the Baking Pan:

Pour the cornbread batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

6. Baking to Perfection:

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the cornbread for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cooling and Serving:

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Expert Tips for Grandmother’s Buttermilk Cornbread:

  • For a delightful twist, add a handful of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter before baking.
  • Serve the cornbread warm with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey for a comforting treat.
