Print Recipe

A simple, comforting cornbread recipe featuring honey and butter melted in a cast iron skillet for a golden, crispy crust. Perfect for easy homemade comfort and cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat flour)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (room temperature; or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, rested 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing skillet)
  • 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place your cast iron skillet inside to heat for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy, then add buttermilk and stir gently.
  4. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Add butter and honey to the skillet and let it melt and bubble.
  6. Pour the batter over the melted butter and honey in the skillet, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cornbread cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

Preheat the skillet to ensure a crisp crust. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense cornbread. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for best results. For a more pronounced crust, broil for 1-2 minutes watching closely. Warm honey if too thick before melting with butter.
