Garlic and Herb Buttermilk Cornbread
Hey! Remember last week when I made the herbed butter with herbs from my garden and cream from Apple Valley Creamery? Well, it’s been a big hit with my family. We put it on corn on the cob and on pasta so far. It’s delicious. This week, I decided to use the leftover buttermilk you get from making homemade butter and made this awesome buttermilk cornbread.
It’s not your average cornbread because I used both the buttermilk and the herbed butter in it, so it’s got extra flavor from the garlic, basil, and rosemary that I used. It’s best served warm and easy to make! I used cornmeal from Kauffman’s Fruit Farm and of course the milk is from Apple Valley Creamery.
This cornbread would be great served at a bbq or picnic. Whip up some chilli and crumble this cornbread right on top. That’s how I like to eat it! Place a fried egg on top of a warm slice of the cornbread and you’ve got a filling breakfast.
