Benne Seed Cornbread

Method

Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or cast iron skillet.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

4

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the benne seeds.

5

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

6

Serve

Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with Habanada Chile Butter and Smoked Apple Butter.
