Steps
1
Cornbread Preheat the oven to 350º F.
2
Generously brush butter in the 9" or 10" cast iron skillet.
3
Sift the flour and baking powder, transfer to the stand mixer bowl and add the sugar, cornmeal, semolina flour, and salt. Combine using the paddle attachment.
4
Gradually add the buttermilk and eggs on low speed. Mix until well combined.
5
Add the melted butter in three additions. Mix well between each addition.
6
Add the corn kernels.
7
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the edges begin to pull away from the skillet.
8
To check for doneness, insert a skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, bake for another few minutes.
9
Honey Butter Whip together the soft butter, salt, and honey on high speed until it's light and fluffy using the whisk attachment.
10
Place on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
11
Brush the honey butter on the warm cornbread. Cut and serve a spread of honey butter on each slice.
TIP:
Freeze baked cornbread tightly wrapped in plastic or an airtight container for up to 1 month. To defrost, place it wrapped in the refrigerator overnight. Then unwrap and flash bake in a preheated 400º F oven for about 2 minutes.
