The Best Cornbread

If I'm going to share this, I'd better make sure it is actually up here. :)

1 cup melted butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 cups cornmeal
2 cups flour

(Substitute for buttermilk: 1 cup=1 Tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar plus milk to make one cup. Let stand for 5 minutes.  Or Dissolve 1 tsp. baking soda in 2 cups milk.)

Melt butter and stir in sugar.  Beat in eggs.  Mix baking soda in buttermilk, and then add in with remaining ingredients.  Bake in a well greased 9 x 13 inch pan at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (until fork inserted in middle comes out clean.)

Sometimes I make them in to muffins or mini loaves and adjust the baking time accordingly.
