Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat and Melt the ButterPreheat your oven to 450°F. Place 1/2 cup butter directly into a 10.25-inch cast iron skillet and transfer it to the oven to melt as it preheats. Watch it closely so it doesn't brown.
- Mix the Cornbread DoughIn a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey and 1 3/4 cup buttermilk, mixing just until a lumpy dough forms (do not overmix).
- Slice and BakePour the batter evenly over the melted butter in your hot skillet. Use a knife or bench scraper to pre-slice the dough into equal squares, then bake for 15–20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and spring back to the touch.
