This simple cornbread recipe yields the kind of cornbread I like: slightly sweet, definitely moist, and plenty corn-y. If you want to up the whole grain quotient, use 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour in place of half of the flour.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tbsp. melted butter, plus more for the pan

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 425. Mix corn meal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Mix buttermilk honey, and egg in a large measuring cup or small bowl. Pour into dry ingredients and mix just to combine.
  3. Stir in melted butter. Pour batter into a buttered 8x8 baking dish.
  4. Bake until golden, brown at the edges, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Makes 9 servings of Cornbread.

I modified and it was great!, Member svwiebe

I never have everything on hand and use what I've got. I subbed corn flour for meal, oat flour for regular flour and syrup for honey. Turned out great!! I make double batches and serve with chicken salads.
