Golden Honey Skillet Cornbread is a delightful twist on traditional cornbread, featuring honey, corn, and a hint of brown sugar for an extra touch of sweetness, baked in a cast iron skillet for perfectly crispy edges.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and place the cast iron skillet inside the oven to heat up.
2
Melt butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
3
Mix together honey, brown sugar, egg, and buttermilk in a medium bowl, then whisk in the cooled melted butter.
4
In a separate large bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
6
Fold in the corn, mixing until just evenly dispersed. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
7
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts, and pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
8
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges and top are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Store any leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to a week.
