Cornbread No Buttermilk Required

Corn Bread Recipe (Using Milk not Buttermilk)

I needed cornbread for my dressing and I forgot to buy buttermilk at the store. I found this recipe that doesn't require buttermilk and it worked great! It's supposedly from 1909!

Corn Bread Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Mix together 2 cups of cornmeal, 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. 

Beat together 3 eggs until thick and light. Add 2½ cup of milk and stir. Mix into the dry mixture. Then add in 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Beat well with a whisk until the batter is smooth. 

Grease well two 8 x 5 inch baking pans (if you don’t grease them well, the bread will stick). Divide the batter between the two pans. Bake for about 45 minutes, until golden brown.
