Description
This Honey Butter Cornbread is a moist, fluffy, and lightly sweetened cornbread made with honey and butter for a rich, comforting flavor. It’s the perfect side dish for chili, soups, or a Southern-style meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, honey, eggs, and buttermilk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with additional honey butter if desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better mixing.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cornbread tender.
- For extra flavor, brush the top with more melted honey butter right after baking.
