Fresh Corn Cornbread with Honey Butter

1. Prepare the Pan and Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with unsalted butter or nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, stir together the eggs, whole milk, and buttermilk.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then add the corn and melted butter, folding until just combined.

5. Bake the Cornbread

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the center springs back when touched.

6. Prepare Honey Butter

While the cornbread is baking, mix together the melted butter and honey in a small bowl.

7. Finish with Honey Butter

Once the cornbread is baked, pour the honey butter over the top, let it absorb slightly, and finish with a sprinkle of flake salt.
