Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ TBS baking powder
- ¾ tsp salt
- ¼ cup neutral cooking oil like avocado oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil, generic cooking oil
- ½ cup butter melted
- 2 TBS honey
- 3 egg beaten
- 1 ¾ cups milk
Instructions
- Mix cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add oil, butter, honey, eggs, and milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until just moist, may still be slightly clumpy.
Brick Oven Cooking
- Heat brick oven to 375-425 degrees.
- Heat cast iron dutch oven or cast iron skillet in the oven. Lightly coat the inside with oil.
- Pour batter into prepared dish and cover.
- Bake in the brick oven for 20-30 minutes covered, checking every 5-10 minutes to see if the middle is cooked. If you want more of the golden brown top, remove the cover for the last few minutes.
- Cut into either wedges or squares and serve with butter and honey.
Conventional Oven Cooking
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pour batter into 8x8 or 9x9 square baking dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top begins to crack and turn golden brown.
- Cut and serve hot with butter and honey.
Notes
- Stir the batter by hand so that it doesn’t get overmixed with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Small clumps are okay as long as everything is mixed in.
- Add more honey if you like your cornbread really sweet. Decrease the amount of honey if you want it slightly less sweet.
- Watch for cracking in the top of the cornbread then remove from the brick oven or oven – the cracking typically means the cornbread is done.
- Test the cornbread to see if it’s done by sliding a knife into the thickest part of the center of the cornbread. If it comes out clean, you’re good to go. If it comes out with batter, cook for a few more minutes then test again.
- Don’t let the brick oven fire get too hot in the brick oven. If it gets too hot, wait until it’s cooled down before trying to cook the cornbread. You need a lower, steady heat rather than the hot blazing heat.
