The Best Cornbread¶

| 35 minutes |
Ingredients - Cornbread¶
0.5 cup (69 g) cornmeal
1.5 cup (180 g) all-purpose flour
0.67 cup (132 g) granulated sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.33 cup (66 g) vegetable oil
3 Tbsp (42 g) butter, melted
2 large eggs, beaten
1.25 cup (284 g) milk
Ingredients - Honey Butter¶
0.5 cup honey
1 cup unsalted butter
0.5 cup marshmallow fluff
Cookware¶
- 1 large bowl
- 1 rubber spatula
- 1 electric mixer
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 inch baking pan (I always use metal; glass pans will bake differently).
Step 2¶
For the cornbread, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the oil, butter, melted, eggs, beaten, and milk and stir with a whisk or rubber spatula until just combined. The batter will be runny.
Step 3¶
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 4¶
For the honey butter, whip the honey, unsalted butter, and marshmallow fluff together with an electric mixer. Best served at room temperature so it is soft and spreadable.
