Traditional Southern Cornbread

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Mix sugar, buttermilk, and eggs in a separate bowl. Pour wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients.

Add butter to the mixture.

Mix well until uniform and consistency is a smooth batter.

Pour into a well-seasoned or oiled iron skillet.

Bake in oven for 25-35 minutes (depending on your oven).

Use a toothpick to check if the cornbread is done. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done.
