HONEY BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

Honey Buttermilk Cornbread image

I wanted to make corn bread but didn't have sugar or milk. I did have buttermilk and honey. They seemed to work well. I guessed at how much honey would be needed and it seemed about right, not too sweet.

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup honey

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. and grease a 8 inch square baking pan.
Sift the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt together.
In a seperate bowl mix the egg, buttermilk oil and honey.
Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients.
Beat until smooth.
Pour into pan.
Bake 20 minutes edges may start to brown a little.

Tips:

Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk gives the cornbread a tangy flavor and helps it to rise. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help the cornbread to cook evenly and develop a nice crust.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: Don't overcrowd the skillet with the cornbread batter. Leave some space between the pancakes so that they can cook evenly.
Cook the cornbread over medium heat: Medium heat will help the cornbread to cook evenly without burning.
Serve the cornbread warm: Cornbread is best served warm. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if necessary.
