There are few things in this world that I love more than a warm, buttered hunk of cornbread, so I wanted to share my easy buttermilk cornbread recipe!

Easy Buttermilk Cornbread Recipe

Sure, a piece of cornbread is fantastic dunked in a bowl of beans (or any delicious soup recipe for that matter), but it’s also pretty amazing on it’s own.

Not that I could sit and eat half a pan of this cornbread on my own or anything. Ahem.

I’m a pretty big fan of breads and biscuits, but when it comes right down to it, the flavor of cornbread melts my heart every time.

In fact, eating cornbread really takes me back to my childhood. I can remember my grandpa always making a pan of cornbread to go with his soup beans.

Soup beans… I think my Appalachian is showing. Do you say soup beans where you’re from? I’m not sure if that’s a regional thing, but I’m guessing it is!

I’ve made quite a few different cornbread recipes with varied results. I actually got this recipe from a really old church cookbook that I borrowed from my mom. It’s such a simple recipe, but I’ve been really happy with the results.

This easy buttermilk cornbread recipe comes out just perfect every time, and the flavor is wonderful.

It seems like my family goes on a bit of a soup and chili kick after the new year, so I make a lot of pans of cornbread to go with our dinners. In fact, I just made some today to go with this amazing 15 bean soup (it totally came off the back of a bag of beans, I can’t take any credit) that you absolutely MUST TRY.

I hope you enjoy this no-brainer cornbread recipe. Be sure to let me know how it turns out for you if you decide to give it a whirl!
