Do you add buttermilk to your corn bread? Would it matter if I used
normal milk instead? I'd never tried buttermilk before, but to me it
was exactly like plain yogurt, maybe a bit more runny. I couldn't
taste it in the corn bread.

Many recipes calling for buttermilk, also use bicarbonate/baking soda,
(rather than just baking powder) for the rising effect caused by the
chemical reaction.

 My recipe called for corn flour, polenta, buttermilk,  baking powder,
baking soda, salt and oil. I used a neutral olive oil.
 

In that case, if you want to use plain milk, do as Joan suggests, and add an acid like lemon or vinegar.
