Grandmother's Cornbread Recipe

I am always in search of THE best cornbread recipe. So, if you have one you love...pass it along. I think this is my favorite to date (from Allrecipes.com). It helps with this recipe to measure out the ingredients before you begin since you add things together quickly.

1/4 pound butter
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 375 and grease an 8" square pan.

Melt butter in a large skillet. 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.

Bake 30 to 40 minutes (though I always prefer the lower end when talking about cornbread...it easily gets overbaked in my opinion).
