Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Lightly grease an 8 inch square pan with butter.
  3. Melt butter in large skillet or pot. Remove from heat and stir in sugar.
  4. Quickly whisk in eggs and beat until well blended.
  5. Combine buttermilk and baking soda then add to the batter.
  6. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt and gently stir to blend. Do not overblend, some small lumps will remain. Pour batter into the greased pan.
  7. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top will be fairly evenly golden brown and the sides will be slightly pulled from the edge of the pan.
  8. If not serving with a savory meal, try sprinkling some ground lavender leaves into the batter… it makes a delicious switch up from the traditional scone…
