Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread

(www.allrecipes.com)

This has to be the best cornbread on earth! I hate when cornbread is all dry and crumbly, don't you?  Well not this cornbread! It's very moist and stays together nicely.  It's sweet and buttery.  Delicious! 

Makes one  full 9 by 11 inch pan.

ingredients:

1 cup and 2 tablespoons butter

1-1/2 cups white sugar

4-1/2 eggs

2-1/4 cups buttermilk

1 teaspoon baking soda

2-1/4 cups cornmeal

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 9 by 11 inch square pan.

Melt butter in large skillet. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended. Combine buttermilk with baking soda and stir into mixture in pan. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well blended and few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
