Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare an 8x8x2 glass pan.
Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and basil in mixing bowl. Add butter.
In another bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together until well incorporated.
Incorporate dry ingredients into wet and mix well with a wooden spoon. Add corn, again be sure everything is well incorporated. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. I suggest checking it at about 30 minutes, as your oven may work at a different rate & you don't want this to burn.
