The only ingredient in this recipe that you might not have is buttermilk. I have not tried any substitutions myself. BUT I have heard you can make a DIY version using lemon juice or white vinegar and whole milk. BUT I have never tried this myself. Just saying.
Cornbread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup 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 & cooled
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 egg, large & at room temperature
- 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9 inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, honey together until smooth. Next whisk in the egg until combined. Last whisk in the buttermilk.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. DO NOT OVER MIX.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top/ Use a tooth pick to test that the center is cooked through. Allow to cool before slicing. If you slice it soon the cornbread will crumble and not hold its shape.
This cornbread will make your home smell amazing when you bake it. This cornbread can be served with butter, honey, jam or eaten as is. My favorite is honey butter.
Stay healthy friends and keep cooking!
