A quick and simple cornbread recipe that goes perfectly alongside a BBQ or a bowl of chili.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose flour
• 3/4 cup cornmeal * (see notes)
• 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 unsalted butter, melted and cooled (plus 2 tablespoons extra)
• honey, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Then place a 12 inch cast-iron skillet in the oven, so it also preheats.
2. Meanwhile, add flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl. Mix to combine. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and cooled melted butter. Fold the dry ingredients onto the wet until combined (careful not to overmix as it will make the cornbread dense).
3. Once the oven is preheated, remove the cast iron and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt completely before pouring in the cornbread batter.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Remove from the oven and melt 1 tablespoon of butter over the top. Drizzle with honey if desired.
6. ENJOY!

Notes:

1. If you like a denser cornbread, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of cornmeal instead.
2. As soon as my cornbread comes out of the oven, I like to melt a bit on SALTED over the top. In my opinion, the salted butter provides a better flavor than the unsalted for this step.
