Honey Cornbread
This buttermilk honey cornbread is a classic simple recipe with delicious flavor and a soft tender texture. It's the perfect side dish for cozy soups, chili and more!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (138 grams) yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (227 grams) buttermilk
- ⅓ cup (113 grams) honey
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter , melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9-inch cast iron skillet. Alternately, you can use 9-inch round cake pan.
- In large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, honey, melted butter, egg and egg yolk. Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared skillet or cake pan. Bake until golden and toothpick inserted into center comes out with few moist crumbs, about 30-35 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with butter and honey if desired.
- Storage: I prefer to enjoy cornbread within 1-2 days of baking, but it will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk: Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to measuring cup and fill with milk to 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir and use. OR combine 1/4 cup milk with 3/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt.
- Cornbread freezes very well: Double wrap in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for a month or more. Let it thaw at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
