Best Homemade Cornbread Recipe (Sweet & Moist)

Print Recipe

This sweet and moist cornbread is perfect as a side dish or a snack, featuring a balance of sweetness from honey and sugar for a delightful flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 & 1/4 cups buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, kosher salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. Reserve 1/2 tablespoon of butter for greasing the skillet. Melt the remaining butter in a large bowl.
  4. Once the butter is melted, mix in the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and honey until well combined.
  5. Add the eggs and buttermilk to the mixture and whisk until everything is blended smoothly.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined; do not overmix.
  7. Grease the heated skillet with the reserved butter, then pour the cornbread batter into it.
  8. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cornbread to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Be careful not to overmix the batter; this keeps your cornbread light and fluffy.
