Sweet and Moist Honey Cornbread Tasty and Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 quarter cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 half teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
- 1 quarter cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 half cup honey
- 1 quarter cup corn kernels (optional for added texture)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and honey. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If using, fold in the corn kernels.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
💡 Chef's Notes
Cut the cornbread into squares and serve warm with a drizzle of honey and a pat of butter on top. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme or basil.
