Buttermilk Cornbread with Maple Buttermilk Glaze

March 3, 2016 ·

Buttermilk Cornbread with Maple Buttermilk Glaze… didn’t you hear me say that with a thick country accent?
Seriously, nothing says country than a nice big ol’ piece of cornbread.

There was a time in my life when I didn’t like cornbread. I think it was during my rebellion years.
[rss-cut]
But, thankfully I have gotten smart over the years.
This is a semi-homemade recipe.
For the base, I used Martha White Sweet Yellow Cornbread and Muffin mix. Using mixes like this makes life so much easier if you are not a baker, or are just short on time. The package states just use water and egg. Instead of water I used buttermilk and added corn kernels to the mix (maybe my rebellion stage hasn’t left me completely).


And for the kicker, I made a scrumptious Maple Buttermilk Glaze that you pour all over the cornbread when it’s fresh out of the oven.

I mean really!

 

Wait, do you hear banjo music??

It might be the cornbread playing trick on me.

Nah, I wanted to tell you about a fun relationship between county music and Martha White. Country music and baking pretty much go hand in hand if you ask me. Just reminds me of “down home”.
Martha White is having a super cool giveaway on their Facebook page with The County Music Association. They are giving away 4 grand prizes that will include a trip for 2 to the CMA Music Festival in Nashville!! But hurry up and enter here, as the contest ends on March 14th!!!

Martha White has some pretty convenient and fun muffin mixes. My favorites are the Banana Nut and  the Wildberry. The sweet potato muffin mix is pretty great as well.

    Using mixes as a base and adding your own spin to them is such a great idea and such a time saver. Oh, and that glaze?? THE perfect addition!
