Print Recipe

A sweet and moist Southern-style cornbread with a rich honey butter topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup honey (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cornbread bakes, make the topping by stirring together the melted butter, honey, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  8. As soon as the cornbread comes out of the oven, pour the honey butter topping evenly over the warm cornbread.
  9. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the topping soaks in.
  10. Slice into squares and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra sweetness, drizzle additional honey before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds if serving later.
