Cornbread

Hot Honey

Cinnamon Butter

Method

Cornbread

  1. 1

    Preheat and Prepare

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or cast iron skillet.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and mashed sweet potato until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine and Mix

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Hot Honey

  1. 7

    Mix Honey and Spice

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and red pepper flakes. Stir until well blended and warm, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Cinnamon Butter

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined.

  2. 9

    Transfer the cinnamon butter to a serving dish and keep at room temperature until ready to serve with cornbread.
