Cornbread Recipe with Honey Butter

This is my favorite Cornbread Recipe since it's soft and tender with a lightly sweet and moist crumb! The cornbread is easy to make and absolutely holiday-worthy, and it steals the show at any BBQ. Do not skip the honey butter topping that gets brushed over the top while it’s hot out of the oven - it will make every bite memorable.

📝 Preparation Steps

Prep - Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a 9×9-inch square baking dish or casserole dish with parchment paper (See the notes to make this in a cast-iron skillet)

Mix the dry ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Mix the wet ingredients - In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled butter, oil, milk, sour cream, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.

Combine - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense. Let the batter sit and rest at room temperature for ⏱️ 10 minutes to hydrate the cornmeal. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Bake at 400˚F for ⏱️ 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Prepare the honey butter topping: In a small bowl, stir together 4 tablespoons of melted and cooled unsalted butter with 3-4 tablespoons of honey (adjust to taste) until smooth. Brush over cornbread while still hot. Cool slightly before slicing and serving. Best enjoyed warm.
