Instructions

Honey cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, honey and eggs. Then whisk in the baking powder and salt. Finally, fold in the flour and cornmeal and mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into your prepared skillet, and bake for 35-40 minutes until risen and golden brown on top.
  4. Allow the cornbread to cool completely (overnight in the fridge is fine) before cutting into cubes to make the salad.

Panzanella salad

  1. Heat the butter in a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. When it's hot, add the cornbread cubes, a few at a time, and allow them to get browned on all sides. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together the dressing ingredients.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the tomatoes with the red onion, basil, and about half of the dressing.
  4. Gently fold in the cornbread just before serving. Add more dressing if desired, to taste.
