Cornbread Recipe with Baking SODA?

Anyone have a cornbread recipe with baking soda instead of baking powder or buttermilk? I only have baking soda, and I'm making Chilli tonight. I'd love to have cornbread with it, but I can't seem to find a recipe that doesn't call for baking powder. The ones that call for baking SODA that I have seen, also have buttermilk, which I don't have on hand either...

You can make buttermilk by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let sit 5 minutes and voila!

You can make your own baking powder:

2 parts cream of tartar
1 part baking soda
1 part cornstarch

Mix well. Use the same amount of this baking powder as you would with the stuff from the store.

You'll have to make the buttermilk as in the other post.

You can substitute 1 cup of milk with 1 Tbs of lemon juice (mix and let sit for 3-4 minutes, then stir) for the buttermilk so maybe you can use one of the recipes you have with baking soda.

Adding 1 tbl vinegar to a cup of regular milk is the equivalent of buttermilk.

You need baking soda and cream of tartar to make baking powder.

Mix 2 parts cream of tartar with 1 part baking soda. For example, mix 2 tsp cream of tartar with 1 tsp baking soda.

Use the amount of baking powder called for by the recipe. No matter how much homemade baking powder you made, if the recipe calls for 1-1/2 tsp, add exactly 1-1/2 tsp of your mixture.
Cream of tartar is used to increase the acidity of a mixture. So, you can't always use baking soda in recipes that call for baking powder. You can switch baking powder for baking soda, however, just expect the flavor to change a L..

If you have cream of tartar
