Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • cup melted butter 80g
  • cup honey
  • 1 cup corn meal 155g
  • 1-½ cups flour 200g
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional

For the Honey Butter:

  • ½ cup salted butter softened
  • cup honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray 9X9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine milk, greek yogurt, eggs, melted butter, and honey. Whisk together for a minute or two until the mixture is smooth.
  • On top of the liquid ingredients add corn meal, flour, salt, and baking powder last. (Optional: add cinnamon) Mix gently until ingredients are combined and no flour pockets are left, but don’t overmix.
  • Pour into 9X9 in. baking dish and bake at 400 F. for 20-25 min, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
    NOTE: Dark pans will take closer to 20 minutes to bake, glass and ceramic pans will take longer, closer to 25 minutes.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Cooling to room temperature will help slices to be more even.

For the Honey Butter:

  • Mix softened butter and honey together in a small bowl with a whisk or fork until well combined and smooth. Spread generously on sliced cornbread!

Notes

For cornbread muffins: make batter as directed, then scoop into muffin tins to about ¾ full. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. 
Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Best served warm with honey butter! 
Freeze for up to 3 months once cooled.
