Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a 8 x 8 baking dish in the oven to heat up while you are preparing the rest of your ingredients.

  2. Add butter to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until light brown / caramel in color. 5-10 minutes. Make sure to keep and eye on it so butter does not burn. It also helps to use a light colored saucepan for this. Allow the butter to cool while you are working on the rest of your ingredients.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

  4. In a large bowl combine honey, buttermilk, eggs and cooled brown butter.

  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined (do not over mix).

I made this but reduced the honey and I only had stone ground corn meal, so my turned out moist but a coarser texture. It was still very good though and reminded me of how I used to make cornbread in my youth, sans the honey because we NEVER had honey in our house, ever!

Did you make this recipe?
