Cornbread

Method

Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

4

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

5

Add Cheese and Chives

Fold in the shredded white cheddar cheese and chopped chives.

6

Bake the Cornbread

Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

7

Prepare Smoked Honey Butter

While the cornbread is baking, mix together the smoked honey and additional butter in a small bowl until well combined.

8

Serve

Once the cornbread is done, let it cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve warm with smoked honey butter.
