Cornbread Ingredients

Method

Cornbread Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

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

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Make Honey Butter

    While the cornbread is baking, combine softened butter and honey in a small bowl. Mix until well blended.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the cornbread is done, let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm with honey butter.
