Easy Classic Buttermilk Cornbread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place rack in the middle position.

Step 2

Heat unmelted butter in your 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat on stovetop until melted. Turn heat off, set aside and allow butter to cool slightly. Alternatively, you can use a 9-inch square baking dish. If so, grease with butter and place in oven to heat up.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add your dry ingredients - flour, cornmeal, granulated white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Whisk together until thoroughly mixed together.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients then add in eggs, honey, and buttermilk, mix until just incorporated. Then add melted butter. Pour batter into hot skillet (you should hear a nice sizzle as it hits the pan).

Step 5

Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until golden brown on top, around the edges and toothpick comes out clean when inserted directly in the middle. Allow to cool slightly before slicing, and enjoy!
