Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthier Buttermilk Cornbread.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking your cornbread to golden perfection. While the oven warms up, grab a 9-inch iron skillet and place it inside to heat for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps create that delightful crust on your cornbread.
Step 2
Once your skillet is nice and hot, carefully melt the butter right in the skillet. Use a brush to coat the sides with the melted butter, letting the warmth of the skillet do its magic. Pour any leftover butter into a large mixing bowl, where the real fun begins!
Step 3
In that same bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk and eggs with the melted butter. This mixture will add moisture and richness to your cornbread, making it irresistibly tender.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, baking soda, cornmeal, white whole wheat flour, and salt. This dry mix is where the flavor starts to build. Once combined, gently fold in the frozen corn, adding a sweet burst of flavor to every bite.
Step 5
Now, pour the dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine! Scrape this delightful batter into your hot skillet, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Finally, pop the skillet into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be simply irresistible!
Step 7
Once baked, let it cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy your Healthier Buttermilk Cornbread warm, perhaps with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter for that extra touch of comfort.
