Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt
1 hot chile pepper, such as serrano, Fresno or jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a10-inch cast-iron skillet into the oven to heat.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add the sliced peppers and toss to coat.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and add 1 stick of the butter to the skillet to melt. Pour into a bowl. Add the buttermilk, eggs and 1/2 cup of the honey to the bowl and whisk together. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the dry mix, then pour the combined batter into the hot skillet. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • While the cornbread is cooling, mix the remaining stick of butter and 1/4 cup honey with the cayenne and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until completely combined.
  • Serve the cornbread with the hot honey.

BROWN BUTTER SKILLET CORNBREAD

This lightly sweet cornbread has a crunchy, buttery crust, which comes from baking it in a hot skillet. If you have a cast-iron pan, this is the time to use it. The heavy, heat-retaining material will give you the darkest color (which equals the most flavor). But any large ovenproof skillet will work. And if you don't have a skillet big enough to hold all the batter, you can either halve the recipe or bake the cornbread in 9-by-13-inch pan. (Brown the butter first in a saucepan.) Your bread won't have the same dark crust, but the moist crumb flavored with brown butter and maple syrup is ample recompense.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks)/170 grams unsalted butter
1/2 cup/120 ml maple syrup
2 1/4 cups/530 ml buttermilk
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups/180 grams yellow cornmeal, fine or medium-coarse grind
1/2 cup/65 grams whole wheat flour
1/2 cup/60 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons/18 grams baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons/9 grams kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon/5 grams baking soda

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. On the stovetop, in a 11- or 12-inch skillet (ovenproof and preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan to lightly coat sides and bottom, until the foam subsides and the butter turns a deep nut brown. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn.)
  • Pour brown butter into a large bowl. (Do not wipe out the pan.) Whisk the maple syrup into the butter, then whisk in buttermilk. The mixture should be cool to the touch; if not, let cool before whisking in the eggs. Then whisk in the cornmeal, flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • If the skillet is no longer hot (cast iron retains heat longer than other metals), reheat it briefly on the stove for a few minutes. Scrape batter back into it. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into it emerges clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before slicing.

HONEY BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD



Honey Buttermilk Cornbread image

I wanted to make corn bread but didn't have sugar or milk. I did have buttermilk and honey. They seemed to work well. I guessed at how much honey would be needed and it seemed about right, not too sweet.

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. and grease a 8 inch square baking pan.
  • Sift the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • In a seperate bowl mix the egg, buttermilk oil and honey.
  • Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Pour into pan.
  • Bake 20 minutes edges may start to brown a little.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular 9-inch baking pan. Just be sure to grease the pan well before pouring in the batter.
  • To test if the cornbread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is done. If it comes out with batter still attached, bake for a few more minutes.
  • Serve the cornbread warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
