Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned or frozen corn kernels (drained if canned)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and set aside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and honey (if using) until combined.
Add the buttermilk and eggs to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold the corn kernels into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan or skillet, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
