Hello,
I'm watching chef john besh on the create channel. He's making grand daddy's corn bread when he added baking powder to the dry mixture. He said that whenever his grand daddy used buttermilk he would add baking powder. I'm wondering why use baking soda when using buttermilk and only baking powder when not using buttermilk? What does buttermilk do to the cornbread if baking powder is used?
