- Ingredients
- 8 oz (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- Optional apx. 1/2 Tbsp. butter
Prepare an 8″ square baking dish with butter or by spraying with non-stick spray. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, and honey until well combined. Stir in eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in buttermilk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, stir together dry ingredients. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and stir until most of the lumps are gone. Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Let it stand for three minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes. It’s done when a cake-tester comes out clean. It will be golden brown across the top. You may brush the optional 1/2 Tbsp. butter across the top of the hot bread. Let stand 5-10 minutes, slice, and serve.
NOTES: This is a SUPER sweet cornbread, but it’s exceedingly delicious and goes great with chili, pulled pork, or soup. YUMMY! The recipe originates with LifeMadeSimpleBakes.
This was a standard dish at our house while I was growing up. I’ve tweaked it to make it my own. Many people buy a prepared cornbread mix to use, but it’s so simple to whip up a half-batch of cornbread that I don’t see the point in buying the mix. Also, I’ve started making my own taco seasoning and if you want to do that too, you can find a recipe online.
