• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon buttermilk powder
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup sugar (optional, for a sweet version)

Honey Butter Ingredients:

• Raw Honey
• Unsalted butter

 

How to Make It

Step-by-Step Instructions:

 

Prepare the Batter:

• In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal mix, buttermilk powder, baking powder, sugar (if using), oil, milk, and egg.
• Mix everything by hand until combined — the batter should be slightly lumpy.
• Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to rest.

 

Prepare the Skillet:

• On medium heat, place a cast iron skillet on the stove and melt the butter.
• Make sure to coat all sides of the skillet with the melted butter.

 

Cook the Cornbread:

• Give the batter a quick stir 2–3 more times before pouring it into the preheated skillet.
• Cover the skillet and continue to cook over medium heat.
• Let the bread rise and set in the middle — watch carefully to prevent the bottom from browning too fast (lower the heat if necessary).
• Once the bread feels firm to the touch flip the bread and continue cooking  the other side covered for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. 

 

Make the Honey butter:

• Combine equal parts of honey and butter.  For a sweeter honey butter add one butter to 1 1/2 parts honey.

 

Final Touch:
Remove from the pan promptly once done.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
