Print Recipe

A classic homemade cornbread recipe that offers a delightful balance of sweetness and savory depth, perfect as a side dish or breakfast item.

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.
  2. Combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and honey in another bowl until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add the egg and buttermilk to the wet mixture, mixing until fully integrated.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir just until blended, being careful not to over-mix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Notes

For a touch of heat, consider adding diced jalapeños or chopped green chiles. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 3 months.
