Ingredients
General
Honey Butter (Billy's Sister's Honey Butter)
Prepare the Cornbread Batter
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Skillet
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats. This helps create a crispy crust on the cornbread.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of cornmeal, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar (optional for sweetness).
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk, and 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not over mix.
5. Add Green Chilis
Fold in one small can (about 4 oz) of diced green chilis, drained. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake the Cornbread
6. Prepare the Hot Skillet
Carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
7. Add Batter
Pour the cornbread batter into the hot, buttered skillet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if needed.
