Sweet Honey Cornbread

Sweet and savory, this honey cornbread is a delightful twist on a classic Southern staple.

Loaded with fresh corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and a hint of honey, this moist and flavorful cornbread is perfect for accompanying your favorite soups, stews, or as a satisfying side dish.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups
• granulated sugar, 1 cup
• baking powder, 1 teaspoon
• salt, 1/2 teaspoon
• unsalted butter, softened, 1/2 cup
• large eggs, 1
• honey, 1/4 cup
• heavy cream, 1/2 cup
• fresh corn kernels, 1 cup
• shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the softened butter, egg, honey, and heavy cream until smooth.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Fold in the fresh corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese.

Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice into 5 pieces and serve.

Notes

Use high-quality honey for a richer flavor.

Don’t overmix the batter, it’ll result in a dense cornbread.

Fresh corn kernels are essential, so try to get the sweetest and freshest ones you can find.

If you want an extra crispy crust, bake the cornbread for an additional 5 minutes.

For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey.
