Instructions
- 1
Set your oven to 400°F. Put your cast-iron skillet inside while the oven heats up.
- 2
Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- 3
In a second bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, honey, and melted butter.
- 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently just until combined.
- 5
Carefully take out the hot skillet and coat it with a bit of butter. Pour in the batter.
- 6
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- 7
Let it cool slightly before slicing.
Chef's tips
Warm the honey slightly before mixing so it blends easily into the batter. Preheating the cast-iron skillet with a little butter creates a delicious, crispy golden crust.
Storage
Store covered at room temperature up to 2 days.
Reheating
Warm in a low oven or microwave briefly.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Stirring the batter too much, which makes the cornbread heavy and tough
- •Forgetting to preheat the skillet, which stops the bottom from getting crispy
