Buttermilk and Cornbread 2022

Buttermilk and Cornbread is a delicious classic combo that’s very popular in the south.  It’s often eaten as a snack or light meal.      

Season with salt and coarse ground black pepper if desired.

Eat with a spoon.   Very filling.

BACK STORY

In October 2018, I published this recipe as Cornbread & Buttermilk.   A few elderly friends made it clear to me the correct name of this dish is Buttermilk and Cornbread… not the other way around.  With that in mind and because I respect my elderly friends, I changed the name.  

 

THE BUTTERMILK

Cultured whole cultured buttermilk is thick, creamy and perfect in this combo.  Low-fat is a good alternative.  Be aware that it is thinner than cultured.

HOT CORNBREAD IS THE BEST

Homemade Self-Rising Cornbread is good because the thick crust doesn’t quickly dissolve in the buttermilk.  The texture is pleasing.  

Pour cold buttermilk over hot cornbread and serve immediately. 

This odd combination is delicious! 

Mini Cornbread Muffins

 

Usually, the cornbread is crumbled, and the combo is served in a bowl, cup or glass. 

To add a creative twist, I used Mini Cornbread Muffins that are made by baking Homemade Self-Rising Cornbread in a mini muffin tin. 

Makes a lovely presentation when served in a pretty bowl. 

 

HOW TO MAKE INDIVIDUAL PORTIONS

This combo is usually made in individual portions. 

After making, eat immediately.

If allowed to stand, the cornbread will get soft and mushy.

SERVING SUGGESTION

If making this for the first time, I suggest crumbling 1-1/2 cups of hot cornbread in a bowl, glass or cup. 

Although cold cornbread is popular, hot tastes better in my opinion.  

Mini muffins torn into small pieces are perfect for this dish.

 

Add 1 cup of cold buttermilk.  If you prefer more buttermilk, add 1/2 cup. 

Eat immediately with a spoon.  

 

ENJOY!
