Grandmother's (not mine) Buttermilk Cornbread

I found this recipe about a year and a half ago and use it every time I want to make cornbread. It's super easy and tastes DELICIOUS! It's got to be cheaper than buying a mix, plus I can make it with ingredients I typically have on hand. Perfect!

Original recipe, here.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c butter
• 2/3 c white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 c buttermilk (I use 1 cup milk + 1 Tb lemon juice to make my own "buttermilk")
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 c cornmeal
• 1 c all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch square pan.
2. Melt butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar. Quickly add eggs and beat until well blended. Combine buttermilk with baking soda and stir into mixture in pan. Stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt until well blended and few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
