Description

This delicious buttermilk cornbread is perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 9-inch round pan, square pan, or cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  3. In a second large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, butter, buttermilk, and honey.
  4. In the second bowl, make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet mixture. Stir just until combined. Do NOT overmix!
  5. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake on center rack for 45-50 minutes (If baking in a cast iron, it may take about 5 minutes less) until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Remove from oven and allow the pan to cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

  • For best results, do not overmix the batter.
  • Serve warm with butter and honey.
