Servings: 10

 

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups buttermilk, well shaken (see notes for dairy-free option)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (bacon fat would be traditional; may substitute oil)

2 large eggs

1 3/4 cups stone-ground cornmeal

1/4 cup honey (may substitute sugar; see notes)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Equipment:

whisk

bowl

oven

frying pan

aluminum foil

paper towels

microwave

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.In medium bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy. Whisk in the buttermilk and honey.Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just blended.Meanwhile, place the coconut oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet (see comments above), and heat the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes or until very hot.Remove the skillet from the oven, and immediately pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven, and bake for 17-20 minutes or until the top is beginning to turn golden and the center is just cooked through. Check a few minutes early as all ovens vary. Taking care not to over-bake will ensure moist cornbread. (If the top is sufficiently browned but the center is still not cooked through, lightly drape with a piece of foil.)Serve hot or at room temperature, with butter, honey or — my personal favorite — strawberry jam. Wrap tightly, and refrigerate any leftovers. If the leftovers become dry, wrap lightly in a damp paper towel and reheat gently in the microwave. This will “refresh” the cornbread, as my grandmother used to say!
