11 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
12 -
1/4 cup honey
13 -
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
02 -
If you haven't done so, cook the sweet potato until tender. Mash it until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
04 -
In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until well combined.
05 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
06 -
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 -
While the cornbread is baking, beat together the softened butter, honey, and salt (if using) in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
08 -
Once the cornbread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with honey butter.
# Notes:
01 -
This cornbread combines the sweetness of sweet potatoes with honey for a uniquely flavorful twist.
02 -
You can prepare the sweet potatoes ahead of time by baking, boiling, or microwaving them until tender.
03 -
The honey butter can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just bring it to room temperature before serving.
04 -
For a dairy-free version, substitute the buttermilk with almond milk and use dairy-free butter.
