Note
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes for cleaner cuts.
For a richer flavor, you can substitute butter for the margarine. Ensure it is melted but not hot, to avoid cooking the eggs.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore softness.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to 2 cups of milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it curdles slightly.
