❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

If you have followed our site for any amount of time you know we are huge sorghum fans. When Leigh and I were little we grew up in a community that had a wonderful fall festival and they made sorghum at the festival. It always smelled so good! This cornbread is delicious with butter and a cup of coffee.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

The hardest part about this recipe is organizing your ingredients. I always like to get everything out and measured correctly before I start.

COOKING STEPS

Step 1
Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, ground cloves, ground nutmeg and sugar until well mixed. Add eggs and buttermilk plus vanilla extract and sorghum syrup. Stir well with a spoon.

Step 2
Spray a 10 inch iron skillet with cooking spray. Add the butter and put skillet into preheated 425 degree oven until butter melts. Add the cornbread mix and bake at the same 425 degree temperature 25 to 30 minutes.

⭐TIP

This recipe calls for buttermilk and many people will ask if you can use a buttermilk substitute. You can but it will change the fat content of the cornbread. The buttermilk adds fat which is what makes the cornbread delicious.

You can also use a 2 quart baking pan, but be sure and check on how quickly it is cooking and you would need to spray the pan instead of melting the butter in it.
