Honey Cornbread

I haven't posted a recipe in such a long time!! I won't do it very often, because I would rather boss y'all around, but I simply HAVE to pass this one along. It is the BEST cornbread I have ever eaten. And since I'm Southern born and bred, I've eaten a whole lot of cornbread. We had this for lunch after church on Sunday, with homemade vegetable soup.

You're gonna need...

1 cup of yellow cornmeal
1 cup of all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar (optional)
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt

Mix all this really well in a kinda big bowl. I use my large Pampered Chef glass measuring bowl, which I can't think of the proper name for. It's right on the tip of my tongue...arrrgggg. Batter bowl; I looked it up.

Then, melt a whole stick of REAL butter in the microwave. Add to it 1 cup of buttermilk (or plain milk), and 1/4 cup of raw honey. You can purchase raw honey at the store if you don't have a local source. Local is better!! Beat 2 eggs and add to this mixture.
Pour all this into your dry mix. Stir until it's all mixed up real good.
Pour into a 9x13 well greased pan.
Bake at 375* for 15 minutes.

I use my large toaster oven that holds this size pan, and adjust the temperature to 350*  for 15 minutes.

It will be a beautiful golden brown when it is done. Now, cut and spread each slice generously with butter. Then talk about how wonderful that Dawn is to give you such a recipe. Mmmmmmm...

And don't even THINK about using something besides real butter. If you have a problem with butter, email me so I can set you straight. It is a healthy fat. Margarine will kill you. Repeat after me...

 "margarine will kill me...margarine will kill me..."

Make some tonight!!
Stay faithful friends, Love,

  1. Thanks, Dawn! I can't wait to try this--we love cornbread, and I happen to have all the ingredients on hand. Good advice on the real butter vs. margarine issue... You are so right.

  2. This looks yummy! Unfortunately, my daughter has a problem with butter ... she's allergic to dairy! I wonder if coconut oil would substitute well ...??

    1. My mom is allergic to dairy also, but she has no problem with raw milk products. It is something in the pasteurization that makes milk hard to digest. If you live in a state that allows raw milk sells, it might be something to look into.

    2. What about the milk in the batter? Will that be a problem also?

    3. My daughter has a problem with ALL milk products. It's an anaphylactic allergy so we don't mess around.
      Yes, the milk in the batter would be a problem but I would just sub in unsweetened soy milk for that.

    4. Gotcha. Well this cornbread is so wonderfully rich from the honey that the butter on top certainly isn't necessary and the cocunut oil in the batter should work perfectly! Plus it will be so much healthier that way!! I might have to try this myself!!
