FAQ’s
Ways to serve/uses – Honestly, I feel cornbread goes with any meal! I use it to dip in my Homemade Chili, pairs perfectly with BBQ dishes, or serve as is with butter &/or honey. This buttermilk cornbread recipe is also the base for my stuffing I make during the holidays. Want a bit of a kick – add a couple of chopped jalapeños peppers!
Substitutions – Don’t have buttermilk? You can substitute by using 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar per 1 cup milk. So for this recipe add 2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar to 2 cups milk.
Can I freeze Cornbread – Yes! After cornbread has cooled thoroughly, place in airtight freezer bag or container. Some recommend wrapping in aluminum foil then placing in airtight bag before freezing. Cornbread can be frozen for up to 3 months, after that it will loose it’s flavor and not maintain texture.
