Enjoy a warm slice of Golden Sweet Cornbread, perfectly moist, tender, and lightly sweetened with honey and brown sugar.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup cornmeal

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/4 cup whole milk

  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs

Garnish

 

  • Melted butter, for brushing

  • Honey, optional

Instructions

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, sugar, melted butter, whole milk, brown sugar, honey, vegetable oil, and eggs until fully combined.

Combine & Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.

  3. Pour the batter into a greased 8×8 or 9×9 square baking pan and spread evenly.

  4. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Finish & Serve

 

  1. As soon as the cornbread is out of the oven, brush with melted butter for extra richness.

  2. Serve warm with extra butter and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra moisture, swap buttermilk with full-fat Greek yogurt.

  • For a savory twist, reduce the sugar and add ½ cup shredded cheddar and diced jalapeños.

 

  • Want a crispier edge? Bake in a cast-iron skillet instead of a square pan.
