Way Down South Buttermilk Corn Bread

Organic/natural ingredients taste best.

sweetbreadThis is THE BEST corn bread to go with any of your soup ’n stew meals or appetizers or just to have for a healthy snack. Warmed with butter or eaten cold it’s sensational. Sooo easy to make! Sooo delicious!

The South never tasted soooo gooood! Serves 8-12



You’ll need:

1-1/2 Cups Yellow Corn Meal
2/3 Cup Unbleached White Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Cup PLUS 2 Tablespoons Organic Sugar
3 Whole separated Eggs
1-1/3 Cups Buttermilk
1/4 Cup Butter

NOTE: Here you can choose to mix ‘n match organic sugars: using organic cane sugar as the larger amount and make up for the rest with organic brown, Sucanat™, or any other one you like keeping the measurement the same unless you love sweet. Experiment. I still do. If you don’t want to double the recipe, but you want a bigger bread, add a little more of everything with an extra separated egg so that one extra whipped egg white keeps it lite. You can also add a touch of dried fruits and/or frozen, organic veggies — just not ones that are very watery, i.e. raw zucchini.
