Popcorn Corn Bread

I've had several request for this recipe that is made with freshly
ground popcorn so here it is:

1/2 C. butter
2/3 C. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. freshly ground popcorn
1 C. all purpose flour
1 C. buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and set aside. In large mixing bowl mix sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Mix dry ingredients together and add to sugar and egg mixture adding the buttermilk and mix well, but do not overmix. Grease a 9x13 pan and pour batter in pan. Bake for aprox. 25 to 30 min.
Popcorn can be ground in a vitamix (dry container) 1/2 cup at a time, or in an electric grain grinder. If you do not have a grinder just use cornmeal from the grocery store.
This recipe can be doubled and baked in a large jelly roll pan.
