Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a cast-iron skillet or baking dish with butter.
In a large bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until combined. Add sugar if using.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture. Stir until smooth but do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cornbread cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey.

Notes

For a spicy twist, add diced jalapeños or shredded cheddar cheese.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
