Print Recipe

A delightful balance of sweetness and savory flavor, this cornbread has a tender texture and a lovely golden crust, perfect for soups, stews, and barbecues.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fine cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and grease a baking pan or cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and honey in a separate bowl until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add the egg and buttermilk to the wet mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just blended. Avoid overmixing for a tender cornbread.
  6. Transfer the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider adding shredded cheddar cheese or chopped jalapeños to the batter.
