Print Recipe

A warm, golden crusted cornbread with a sweet honey butter glaze, perfect for cozy gatherings and easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for glaze)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (local honey preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth and glossy.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and swirl until melted and sizzling.
  6. Pour the batter into the skillet and spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While baking, prepare the honey butter glaze by combining 3 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted and smooth.
  9. Remove the cornbread from the oven and immediately brush the honey butter glaze over the top.
  10. Let the cornbread cool in the skillet for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Preheat the cast iron skillet to get a crispy crust. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense cornbread. Brush honey butter glaze immediately after baking for a glossy finish. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for best texture.
