Cheddar Buttermilk Cornbread

Submitted by Scoutie

"This is a delicious cornbread! I don't like mine too sweet, so feel free to add more sugar. You can also add chives, jalapenos, scallions, thyme or anything else you desire! Making these as muffins works good too. This is adapted from a recipe in Bon Appetit magazine, Dec. 2002. I am on a mission to get rid of all of my food mags and put the recipes I like on Zaar. Wish me luck! LOL"

A wonderful high-rising cornbread - baked in an 8 x 11 inch pyrex pan! We added about 3 minced jalapenos (2 green & 1 red) & 2 chopped scallions - left out the cheese - opting to sprinkle it on our red hot pork chili (healthy dose of smoked chipotle pepper in there). This cornbread - sweet & light was the perfect foil for the dark rich chili bowl. Thanks for posting - she's a keeper!
