Ingredients

1 cup butter, salted
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and butter a 9x13 baking dish.
Melt butter in a large pot or microwave safe bowl.
To the butter, whisk in the sugar until dissolved.
Add in the eggs and whisk until smooth, then whisk in buttermilk.
Add in the baking powder, salt, flour and cornmeal and whisk just until everything is incorporated. Lumpy batter is ok.
Pour the batter into prepared dish and bake for 30-35 minutes and until the edges are golden brown and pulling away from the dish, and until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cornbread cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve with butter, honey or maple syrup.
