Ingredients:
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar/lemon juice as a substitute)
Optional:
1 tablespoon sugar (for a slightly sweet version)
1 egg (for extra richness)
Vegetable oil for frying
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
If you prefer a sweeter cornbread, add sugar.
Pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable, like pancake batter.
For extra moisture and softness, whisk in an egg.
