Honey Cornbread
Description
This honey cornbread recipe uses cornmeal combined with flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to build the dry base. Wet ingredients include buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey, which contribute moisture, richness, and gentle sweetness. Stirring just until combined avoids overmixing and keeps the texture tender.
The batter is poured into a greased pan or cast iron skillet and baked at 400°F until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. The result is a warm cornbread with a delicate crumb and a subtle honey flavor that balances the cornmeal’s earthiness.
This cornbread is ideal served warm alongside chili, soups, or barbecue. It can also be baked as muffins for individual portions with a shorter bake time. The recipe offers flexibility depending on your preferred presentation or serving style.
Use a cast iron skillet for a crispier crust or baking pan for softer edges. Muffin variations bake faster and provide portable servings for sharing.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 egg
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Use the softened butter to grease a 9 or 10 inch square baking pan or cast iron skillet.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture and add the buttermilk, eggs, butter and honey.
- Stir until just combined - do not overmix!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached. Cool for at least 10 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Grease a 9 or 10-inch square pan or use a cast iron skillet for cornbread; both work well.
- This batter can also be divided into a 12-cup muffin tin for cornbread muffins, baked about 15 minutes.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cornbread tender and moist.
