Sweet Cornbread
This sweet cornbread is one of my favorites to make during the fall. It's super moist, fluffy, and is an easy recipe that pairs well as a side dish to so many meals!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 large eggs , whisked
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ cup salted butter , melted and cooled slightly
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Wet ingredients. In a large measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup milk, 1/3 cup honey, and 2 eggs.
- Dry ingredients and combine. In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt with a wooden spoon. Add in the milk mixture and stir just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup melted butter, being careful not to overmix.
- Bake. Pour evenly into baking dish. Bake 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean from the center.
- Cool. Let cool slightly before serving. Slice into 16 squares. Best served warm with a little butter and honey, if desired, on top.
Notes
To make into muffins: Make batter the exact same way, however pour into a 12-cup muffin tin instead of a baking pan (each cup should be about 3/4 full). Bake at 350°F for 17 to 20 minutes, or until muffin tops are nice and golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Freeze: Let cool completely, then wrap in aluminum foil or place in a freezer bag. Store in freezer for 1 to 2 months.
Thaw: Place in refrigerator overnight or thaw at room temp until soft and fluffy (no longer frozen).
Reheat: Re-wrap in aluminum foil and place in oven at 350°F until warmed throughout.
Storage: Can be stored at room temp for 1 to 2 days. Wrap in foil and store in a zip-top bag.
