Folks, today we're taking a classic cornbread to new heights with a sweet twist. In this recipe inspired by Smokin' & Grillin with AB, we're blending the comforting texture of cornbread with the rich tastes of honey and buttermilk to create a moist and flavor-packed Buttermilk Honey Cornbread Delight. AB's method ensures a tender crumb and a golden crust, perfect for any meal, from BBQs to holiday spreads. So, preheat your ovens and follow these simple steps to cornbread perfection.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of buttermilk
Instructions:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
Total Time: 35-40 minutes
Servings: 8-10
Equipment Needed:
- 9x9 inch baking dish or similar (adjust for a 13x9 inch dish if doubling the recipe)
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of honey until well incorporated.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Achieve a smooth and even mixture.
4. Gradually pour in the buttermilk while stirring continuously to blend together all the wet ingredients.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula. Mix until just combined - be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser cornbread. Stop mixing once you no longer see dry flour or lumps.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
10. Drizzle with additional honey to your preference.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure ingredients like eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature for better incorporation.
- If doubling the recipe for a 13x9 inch dish, you may need to adjust the baking time slightly.
- For a crispier crust, you can preheat your greased baking dish in the oven before adding the batter.
