Skillet Honey Cornbread

No matter the occasion, this skillet honey cornbread is simply spectacular.  Using honey in the batter gives it an slightly delicate texture.  It’s a true taste of the South in your mouth.

Ingredients you’ll need: 
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup plain yellow cornmeal
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the butter into a 9-inch cast iron skillet and into the oven while it preheats, to melt.  [Alternative: Use an 9 x 9 heavy metal baking or pie pan]

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, honey and oil.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixing just until combined.

Swirl the melted butter to coat the sides and bottom of the skillet, then pour the batter into the cast iron skillet.  Place into the oven.  Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean.  Serve with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. Yield: 8-10 pieces
