Classic Sweet Cornbread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Sweet Cornbread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give an 8-inch square baking pan a light greasing to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar, and cream them together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition to incorporate that rich flavor.

   Now, stir in the cornmeal until everything is beautifully combined, adding a delightful texture to your batter.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Once your batter is ready, pour it into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is just as delicious as the last.

9. Step 9

   Now, it’s time to bake! Place your pan in the preheated oven and let it work its magic for about 30 to 35 minutes.
