Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line a pullman pan or 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving the ends hang over the sides for easy removal.

In a large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, honey, melted butter, oil, egg, and egg yolk, and whisk until fully combined.

Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until mostly combined.

Lastly, whisk in the buttermilk until fully combined.

Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure everything is properly combined, then pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Use a knife to draw a line down the center of the batter, then pipe softened butter down the line. This will encourage the cornbread to split evenly down the middle as it bakes.

Bake the cornbread for 42-48 minutes until golden and the center no longer looks wet.

Allow the cornbread to cool completely before slicing.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring buttermilk, eggs, and butter to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and a tender, uniform crumb throughout the cornbread.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold ingredients together gently until just combined to avoid developing gluten, which creates tough, dense cornbread instead of the desired moist and tender texture.
Preheat Your Pan with Oil 🍳
Heat a cast-iron skillet or baking pan with oil in the oven before pouring batter to create a golden, crispy exterior crust while keeping the interior tender.
Toast the Cornmeal 🌽
Lightly toast the medium-grind cornmeal in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the batter to deepen its nutty flavor and enhance overall complexity.
Warm Honey Swirl Technique 🍯
Gently warm the honey until pourable and drizzle it into the batter just before baking, creating beautiful ribbons and pockets of sweetness rather than mixing it completely.
