There are so many cornbread recipes out there, and there’s always room for another good one. I love Buttermilk Cornbread for its dense texture and slightly sweet flavor. It’s not a light and fluffy cornbread. It’s heavy and wonderful.

Buttermilk Kitchen:

This recipe comes from a new cookbook by Suzanne Vizethann: Welcome to Buttermilk Kitchen. Buttermilk Kitchen is the name of a quaint, popular breakfast/lunch restaurant in Atlanta Georgia that serves up Southern-style food. This cookbook shares some of the restaurant favorites. I love to have restaurant cookbooks in my cookbook collection! Here are some more recipes in the book that I have bookmarked to make: Sweet Tea Chicken Brine (for fried chicken), O.G. Buttermilk Biscuit, O.G. Buttermilk Pancakes, Cobbler Biscuit French Toast, Caramelized Banana Oatmeal, Hashbrown Fritters, Bacon Egg and Cheese Deviled Eggs, Vanilla Wafers, Mason Jar Banana Pudding, Cold Brew Russian and Strawberry-Iced Green Tea Latte.

The original author of the recipe makes these in mini loaf pans for her restaurant. I have a feeling she may be referring to the very small mini loaf pans, but I chose to make them in the larger mini loaf pans. The batter for this recipe fills three of them.

Mini loaf pans are perfect for Buttermilk Cornbread. We ate one, put one in the freezer for later and gifted another to a friend. The size of a mini loaf is nice because you get perfect, small slices to nibble on.

What makes Buttermilk Cornbread so good?

In this recipe, you’ll be using full fat buttermilk, whole milk and one stick of butter. That helps give it a rich flavor. There is only 1/4 cup of sugar in the cornbread, so it’s not overloaded with sweetness. Just the right amount of sweet, in my opinion.

Buttermilk Cornbread is perfect for afternoon snacking– warm with a little butter and honey. Enjoy!
