Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter melted
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/4 cups buttermilk shaken well
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
For drizzling after baking:
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 2 Tbsp. honey

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a square baking dish (about 8x8 inches).
  2. In a medium bowl, stir butter, sugar and honey together. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Whisk in buttermilk. Add cornmeal, flour, salt and baking soda. Do not over-mix. As soon as the flour disappears, stop mixing.
  3. Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup melted butter and 2 Tbsp. honey in a small bowl.
  5. Poke top of cornbread gently all over with a fork. Pour honey-butter mixture all over cornbread. (This makes the crumb extra moist!) Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  6. Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!
