Description:
A golden skillet cornbread with nutty brown butter, crisp edges, and a tender crumb that works with chili, soups, or holiday sides.
Ingredients:
- 1.00 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.50 Cup unsalted butter
- 2.00 Tablespoon honey
- 2.00 Piece eggs
- 1.00 Cup all-purpose flour
- 1.00 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1.00 Cup cornmeal
- 0.25 Cup sugar
- 1.00 Cup buttermilk
Instructions:
- Heat the oven to 400 F with a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside.
- Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat, stirring until the foam subsides and the butter smells nutty. Pour into a heatproof bowl.
- Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, honey, and browned butter together, reserving 1 tablespoon butter for the skillet.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined.
- Brush the hot skillet with reserved butter, add the batter, and bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden and set.
- Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes:
- Watch the butter closely; browned milk solids can burn quickly.
- A hot skillet creates the crispest edge.
- Use whole milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice if you do not have buttermilk.
