A simple, straightforward cornbread that we’d happily serve alongside a bowl of chili on any other day of the year.

Recipe information

    8 Servings

Ingredients

3

tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled, plus more for baking dish

1⅓

cups all-purpose flour

1⅓

cups cornmeal

2

tablespoons sugar

1

tablespoon baking powder

1

teaspoon kosher salt

¾

teaspoon baking soda

3

large eggs, beaten to blend

1

cup buttermilk

½

cup whole milk

Whisk egg mixture into dry ingredients until just combined (batter will be slightly lumpy). Mix in 3 Tbsp. butter.

    DO AHEAD: Cornbread can be made 1 month ahead. Wrap tightly and freeze.

  • Echoing the other reviewers, I made this recipe exactly and not only was it bland, but it was dry. If you're going to make cornbread from scratch it should taste better than this.

  • This recipe has absolutely no A*S. Tastes like nothing even though it has all of the cornbread ingredients. Excellent.

  • So disappointing! It had absolutely no flavor which is weird because it seems like a pretty standard corn bread recipe (kind of amazing if you think about it). Would not recommend.

  • Quite a disappointing recipe. It's easy enough to make, but does not live up to usual BA deliciousness levels. Would not make again.
