Description
A delightful dish combining the sweetness of honey with savory cornbread, perfect for family gatherings and cozy dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 can creamed corn (15 oz)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and slowly add in the honey, mix well and remove from heat.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease your cast iron skillet or baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, creamed corn, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Create a well in the dry mixture and pour the wet mixture into it, stirring until blended.
- Pour the mixture into the greased 13×9 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. After 20 minutes, brush honey butter on top and continue baking.
- Check doneness with a wooden pick inserted in the center; it should come out clean.
- Allow to rest until cool before serving, and serve with more honey butter for extra flavor.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. Consider adding jalapeños or cheese for a bit of spice.
