Cornbread

This recipe comes from my grandma - Rosalie Lewis

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk

Put all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients. Mix together with a wisk, but do not overmix. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400F degrees. I baked mine in muffin tins. (I am sure you can bake it in an 8"x8" pan. I baked my muffins for 9 minutes, or until golden brown.
