Buttermilk Cornbread

by Annmarie

So easy to make — no mixer needed and ready in no time! This classic side dish is everything you love about homemade comfort food: fluffy, moist, slightly sweet, and full of buttery goodness. It’s the kind of recipe that instantly brings everyone to the table with a smile.

The texture is soft yet hearty, making it the perfect companion for any meal — from a bowl of chili or soup to your favorite holiday spread. It’s so versatile that it can shine as a savory side or a sweet treat, depending on how you serve it.

Once it comes out of the oven, spread on some butter while it’s still warm and let it melt right in. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness that makes it completely irresistible. Every bite is golden, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious — so simple, yet so dangerously good!
