Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus butter for baking dish
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and fold together until there are no dry spots (the batter will still be lumpy). Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake until the top is golden brown and tester inserted into the middle of the corn bread comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Yes moist BUT it is almost too moist because of all the butter and surprisingly the taste is very plain; too neutral without having that nice corn taste. Prior to making this recipe, I made the Easy Corn Bread recipe on the Quaker Yellow Corn Meal container and it was too dry so I was looking for a moist recipe. Paula's recipe came up on line as moist corn bread. True but NO FLAVOR. I am not going to make this recipe again and will look for another. I would not recommend trying it. I believe all the butter is a bit too strong for this recipe and I can imagine what the calories are from all the fat. It is also very liquidy when all the ingredients are mixed together as another post says and the white clumps are left in the batter and remain when baked. Bottom line: Not recommended.

I've been making our family recipe since I was a kid and this is the first cornbread I thought was better. It has an awesome moisture and crumb, I love the texture of the bread and it is neutral enough to allow you to enhance the flavors to suit your menu. I've used lime zest, extra sugar, chipotles, jalapeños, green chiles and I have other ideas to try. I love recipes that are perfect as written and give me a wide range of latitude to "personalize" to my taste and menu. Ms Paula you never disappoint. This is now my cornbread recipe.

This cornbread is a total disappointment, especially coming from Paula. Don't waste ur time on this one I should have read the one star reviews, before making this. It is so plain no flavor at all!! :( from now on I will stick to buying Trader Joes cornbread..."Best cornbread ever!"
