The Best Cornbread Recipe, is moist and light and airy, not sweet like a piece of cake, holds together so you can eat it with a fork or dip it in nice thick chili!!
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch baking dish by greasing with spray oil or butter.
Combine the soda and buttermilk in a large bowl and set aside. (Seriously use a bowl that can hold at least 3 cups of liquid, the buttermilk will expand when mixed with the soda)
Beat the eggs until fluffy, add in the melted butter and sugar. Make sure the butter is not too hot.
In a large mixing bowl combine the cornmeal, flour and salt. Add in the buttermilk and butter mixtures and stir well to combine, making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl to combine all of the dry ingredients.
Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
