Cashew Free Easy Cornbread

Golden, slightly crisp on the outside and tender all the way through, this classic cornbread is the kind of comfort food that disappears fast at any table. The trick to that irresistible crust is preheating the pan with butter right in the oven — when the batter hits that sizzling surface, it creates a beautifully caramelized bottom that you just can't get any other way. Buttermilk keeps the crumb moist and adds a gentle tang that balances the sweetness from the sugar perfectly. Tree nut allergies can make baked goods stressful, especially when store-bought options often share production lines with a dozen different nuts — but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Cornmeal, flour, eggs, butter, and buttermilk are all you need, and none of them come with hidden surprises. It bakes up into nine generous squares that are equally at home alongside a bowl of chili, a backyard barbecue spread, or just eaten warm with a little extra butter melting into the top.
