Cornbread Ingredients

Method

Cornbread Directions

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.

4

Combine Mixtures

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

5

Bake

Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking dish or a cast-iron skillet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6

Prepare Honey Butter

While the cornbread is baking, prepare the honey butter by mixing softened butter with honey to taste.

7

Serve

Once baked, allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving warm with honey butter.
