Cornbread Squares

Print Recipe

Cornbread Squares are moist, buttery, and slightly sweet squares of classic cornbread—perfect as a side dish for chili, barbecue, or soups.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a handful of corn kernels or shredded cheese to the batter.
  • Use full-fat buttermilk for the moistest texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
