This Southern Honey Cornbread is everything a good cornbread should be — golden, tender, lightly sweet, and incredibly easy to make. With a hint of honey and a moist, buttery crumb, it pairs beautifully with chili, soups, BBQ, or your Thanksgiving table. Serve it warm with butter or enjoy it straight from the skillet.

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter melted
1/4 cup honey

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey. Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (don’t overmix).
Generously butter an 8x8-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round pan.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Place the pan in the oven and bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Cover the pan loosely with foil to prevent over-browning, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into the center of the cornbread. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is done.
