Instructions
Honey Cornbread Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan for a thicker, fluffier cornbread. You can use a 9×9 pan, but the cornbread will bake thinner and slightly more dense.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: Protein Flour Co. flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, honey, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir just until everything is combined and smooth—avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, checking at around 18 minutes. The cornbread is done when the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, ideally with honey butter on top.
Honey Butter instructions
- . In a small bowl, add the softened salted butter.
- Stir in the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using).
- Mix until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon level as desired.
- Serve immediately with warm PFC Honey Cornbread, or refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
Notes
- For extra moisture and tenderness, use the full 2 tablespoons of oil or melted butter.
- f you prefer a slightly less sweet cornbread, you can reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup while keeping the 1/4 cup of honey.
- This recipe works well as muffins too—bake in a greased or lined muffin tin at 400°F for about 12–14 minutes.
