Honey Butter Cornbread
A soft, buttery cornbread with a sweet honey drizzle that soaks into every slice for the perfect moist finish.
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter melted
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1¼ cups buttermilk
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Honey Butter Drizzle:
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and honey until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the buttermilk until fully incorporated.
- Add the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.
- While the cornbread bakes, stir together the melted butter and honey for the drizzle. As soon as the cornbread comes out of the oven, pour the honey-butter evenly over the top. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
