Honey Buttermilk Cornbread
This is some pretty fancy cornbread. It is golden brown, moist and has a nice sweetness from the honey. This honey buttermilk cornbread is the bomb, guys, you don’t even need it as a side, you can just eat it on its own. I had mine with my beef and Italian sausage chili. I did feel a little like I was eating cake with my chili, but I wasn’t complaining.
Some notes:
- If you do not have buttermilk, milk is fine or you can replace 1 tablespoon of the milk with vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for about 10 minutes to make something similar to buttermilk.
- Most cornbreads are baked on high heat; 375ºF to 400ºF. Baking it on high heat makes it soft in the middle and crispier around the edges. I like mine to be a little softer all the way around so I bake it at 325ºF or 350ºF because the lower heat makes it bake more evenly. You can bake it at a lower or higher temperature depending on the outcome you want. Just keep in mind that the higher the temperature the faster it will bake.
Ok that’s all, now go make it! 😀
