Buttermilk Cornbread is a classic comfort food with roots in Southern American cuisine. Made typically from cornmeal, all-purpose flour, eggs, buttermilk, sugar, baking powder, and butter or oil, it offers a moist texture and a subtly sweet, tangy flavor. Cornmeal serves as the base, providing fiber and essential vitamins like B6, while buttermilk contributes probiotics and a creamy richness. Though hearty and satisfying, its nutrition profile depends on preparation. Traditional recipes can be high in saturated fat, sugar, and calories, especially with added butter or generous servings. However, it can be modified with whole-grain cornmeal or reduced sugar for healthier versions. Often baked in a cast iron skillet to enhance flavor and texture, Buttermilk Cornbread pairs well with soups, stews, or as a standalone treat, making it a beloved staple across Southern dining tables.
