Honey Skillet Cornbread for #BreadBakers

Welcome to #BreadBakers! We are a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our lovely bread by following our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated after each event on the #BreadBakers home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.


For the month of June, Stacy from Food Lust People Love invited us to make "corny" bread! She said "This can be a yeast or quick bread, made in any pan or shape. Sweet or savory.  It should contain corn as a major element, actual corn (fresh, frozen or freeze-dried; yellow, white or purple) - OR cornmeal/polenta. Or all of the above. Let's get corny!"


This was such a DELICIOUS tender cornbread! It gets a gorgeous crust from the hot skillet, and the inside is moist, tender, lightly sweet, and studded with bites of corn. It's pretty much the perfect corn bread. Eat it like a wedge of cake, drizzled with honey, alongside your favorite chili, at 2 in the morning... I won't tell!

Come see all our "corny" dishes that we're sharing with you today:

  • Honey Skillet Cornbread

    Ingredients
    1/2 cup butter
    1/3 cup honey
    1 large egg, at room temperature
    1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
    1 cup cornmeal
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 cup canned corn

    Directions
    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and pull out a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Set on the stove until ready to use.
    2. Melt the butter in a medium sized bowl, and allow to cool briefly before whisking in the honey, egg, and buttermilk. Set aside.
    3. Meanwhile, combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl: cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
    4. Blend the wet ingredients into the dry, just until combined, and then stir in the canned corn.
    5. Turn a burner on and get the cast iron skillet hot, for about a minute.
    6. Spray the skillet with some non-stick cooking spray to coat lightly. Scrape the batter into the hot skillet and place the skillet into the hot oven.
    7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    8. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
