Honey Buttermilk Cornbread

Teresa Ambra
Honey Buttermilk Cornbread is sensational. This delicious homemade cornbread recipe is made with honey instead of sugar and also includes buttermilk. This excellent recipe is light and fluffy and the perfect accompaniment to soup, chili, stew or chowder. Also great for breakfast!

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet or other baking dish
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Wayside Inn Grist Meal whole corn meal or any stone ground cornmeal not cornmeal mix
  • 3/4 cup gluten free flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. aluminum-free baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp. pink Himalayan sea salt
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup honey (or you can use granulated sugar)
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk I make my own sour milk. (See note below)
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions
 

  • Combine gluten free or regular flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
  • Whisk in buttermilk, eggs, honey and coconut oil (or avocado oil) until no lumps remain from coconut oil.
  • Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with coconut oil or butter and pour cornbread mixture into the skillet.
  • Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Notes

NOTE: I made my own buttermilk by using 1 ¼ cups regular milk and adding 3 tbsp. white vinegar. Allow the milk to sour for about 5 minutes and then combine with all the other ingredients.
 
NOTE: You can also melt the coconut oil before adding to the batter, or substitute avocado oil.
