1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 ways: 1 – leave plain, 2 – add 1 cup fresh berries, 3 – add a finely chopped fresh jalapeño pepper, seeds removed
Optional: Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease and line an 8-inch round/square pan or grease 8-9 mini loaf pans.
Whisk together the first five ingredients, through buttermilk.
Stir together the dry ingredients and mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
If using, stir in add-in of choice.
Pour batter into pan/s. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top if desired.
Bake cornbread for 20 minutes for a large cake, 12-16 minutes for the mini loaves.
