Ingredients
For the cornbread
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 1/4 cup melted butter + 2 Tbsp. for greasing the pan
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
For the whipped butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk or honey
- 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a mixing bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice and brown sugar.
- In another bowl whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, buttermilk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and vegetable oil.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and fold the batter just until combined. The batter will be thick, but easy to stir by hand.
- Place the remaining 2 Tbsp. of butter in an 8x8-inch square baking pan or cast iron skillet. Place the pan in the preheated oven for about 2 minutes or until the butter is melted.
- Take the pan out and pour the cornbread batter over the melted butter. Smooth the top and place back in the oven until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 23 minutes.
- While the cornbread cools, make the whipped butter. Using a hand mixer, beat all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Serve with the cornbread and enjoy with your favorite Fall meals!
