  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient and mix with a spatula just until a thick batter comes together.

Notes

This cornbread is sweet, southern cornbread tends to be that way. You can easily reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup or less. Like most baking recipes, don't over mix it and always mix the wet into the dry.Buttermilk Cornbread
