Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Cup Cornmeal
  • 1 Cup Cup 4 Cup GF Flour
  • 3 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk or Whole Milk
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Melted Butter
  • 2 Large Eggs- whisked
  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter for cast iron pan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease a 8 inch square cake pan or a round cast iron skillet. If using a cast iron skillet- Make sure it is greased super well.
  • Place the cast iron skillet in the oven while it’s pre-heating.
  • Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, sugar, and honey together until completely smooth and combined.
  • Whisk the egg until combined.
  • Add the buttermilk or whole milk.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until well combined. Do not over-mix.
  • Before spooning the batter into your cast iron pan- take it out of the preheated oven and add 2 tablespoons butter. Let it melt before spooning batter into hot cast iron pan or prepared baking dish. If you’re using a regular 8 x 8 you do not need to preheat the pan or add butter. Just make sure it is well greased.
  • Bake for about 16-25 minutes or until golden brown on top, and the center is cooked through depending on your oven. Check the cornbread at 15 minutes-if it is browning too fast cover loosely with aluminum foil.  The edges should be crisp. Use a toothpick and insert to test if the center is cooked through.- if the toothpick comes out clean the cornbread is done.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
  • This can be served with butter, honey or jam.

Notes

  • I covered my cornbread with foil for the last five minutes of cooking to avoid over browning the top.
  • Check your oven at 16 minutes to see if the cornbread is done.  Depending on your oven it could take anywhere from 16-25 minutes.  Mine took about 19 minutes.
  • Let it sit and cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • You can always add two tablespoons honey on the top after it has come out of the oven.
