Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan (see Cook's Note)
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and lightly flour a 9-inch cake pan. Be sure to remove any excess flour from the pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together 8 tablespoons of the butter with the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Pour the butter mixture into the cornmeal mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Mix the honey and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter together in a small bowl, then spread all over the top of the cornbread to finish. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh cornmeal. If you don't have fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
  • To make sure your cornbread is moist, add a little bit of sour cream or buttermilk to the batter.
  • If you want a sweeter cornbread, add a little bit of sugar or honey to the batter.
  • To add a little bit of crunch to your cornbread, add a few kernels of corn to the batter.
  • If you want a crispy crust on your cornbread, bake it in a preheated cast iron skillet.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. It's also a great snack or breakfast food. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a cornbread recipe that you love.
