Cornbread Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ⅓ cup melted butter, cooled (plus 1 tbsp for greasing the pan)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 15-oz can of corn, drained
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar (turbinado sugar)
Cornbread Instructions:
- If using an oven, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. If using a grill, heat the grill to 400 degrees, using direct heat on part of the grill and leaving another section for indirect heat (leaving some burners off on a gas grill or arranging charcoal to one side on a charcoal grill). This is where the cornbread will be baked.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and baking powder.
- Whisk the melted butter, milk, and egg into the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the corn.
- Grease a 9-inch round Dutch oven or cast iron skillet with melted butter. Pour the batter into the Dutch oven or skillet. Sprinkle the top with the coarse sugar. Place the cornbread in the oven or over indirect heat on the grill and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the top is a golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve hot.
Whipped Hot Honey Butter Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup honey
