Honey Hush Cornbread

"Straight from the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and Biker Bar in Syracuse, NY. Not like any cornbread I have ever had - this is so sweet. I usually use a lot more honey than the recipe calls for but, you decide"

directions

  • Set oven at 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with shortening. Pop the pan in the oven to heat while you're mixing up the cornbread.
  • Mix the cornmeal, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and melted butter.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and give them a good stir, just until everything is moistened.
  • Pull the hot greased pan from the oven and pour in the batter.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Take the cornbread out of the oven and brush the top with honey.
  • Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before cutting into squares.

  1. Most excellent! I added 1 Tbsp honey to sweeten the pot. It didn't need it. lol Very light and moist. Grt share. Thanx
     
  2. This is our FAVORITE cornbread recipe!!<br/><br/>We've made it using buttermilk powder (blending the powder in with the dry ingredients and the water in the appropriate amount of water in the wet ingredients); we've made it with sour milk (1T lemon juice then filled the rest of the way to 1c with milk). Now that I have to avoid dairy due to my nurseling's reaction to it we've successfully made it with "soured" rice milk, though it is a bit crumbly.<br/><br/>My husband particularly favors the balance of sweetness.
     
  3. Yum! I love me some sweet cornbread! I made these as muffins. I coated the pan with oil and filled the cups to almost the top (1/16" lower than top). This recipe made 12 regular sized muffins. They came out incredibly easily. I used 3-4T honey that I warmed up on the stove so it would spread evenly and easily. I put on two coats, and served these with honey margarine. Wonderful, thank you!
     
  4. Great cornbread! I easily halved the recipe and made into muffins and got 8, filling the paper baking cups 2/3 full and baking for 15 minutes. I skipped the honey on top (persoanl choice). The addition of vanilla really makes this taste like no other recipe I've tried. Thanks for sharing! :) Made for PAC Spring 09
     
  5. Delicious! I altered it a little to suit our tastes. First, rather than brushing the top with honey, I added the honey to the melted butter, then added that to the other liquids. Second, I added about a cup of cooked and cooled corn kernals to the liquids. Third, I skipped the vanilla. We thought it was excellent with our chili. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for posting, Tendoy5!

  1. I used maple syrup instead of honey and served this with breakfast. This is my new cornbread recipe. Outstanding.
