Buttermilk Cornbread

BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

Here’s a perfect side to soups, chilis, you name it. This cornbread is from my friend Kendee who I have known since we were little.

I loved this cornbread because it’s moist and not too sweet. I know. Gasp. You can’t believe the queen of sweets uttered such words but when I want cake…I make cake.

I don’t want cornbread that tastes like cake. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory. This is definitely not the usual crumbly and dry cornbread.
