Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • ⅓ cup grilled corn

Toppings

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Pour the canola oil into a 6.5 inch cast iron skillet. Place in the oven for 10 minutes to heat the oil.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cornbread batter.
  • Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt to a medium size mixing bowl. Whisk together. In another small bowl add the buttermilk, egg, and honey. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until combined.
  • Add in the grilled corn and cheese. Stir to combine.
  • Once the oil is heated, remove the skillet from the oven. Pour the cornbread batter over the hot oil, be careful!!
  • Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and add your toppings. Place back in the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the cornbread are golden and starting to brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Allow to cool, slice and serve! Enjoy!

Notes

  • Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk on hand you can use a mixture of milk with 1 tsp of vinegar or lemon juice added. Let it sit briefly until the milk thickens.
  • Sharp cheddar cheese & Grilled corn: add this to the actual cornbread for more texture and cheesiness.
  • Fresh vegetables and herbs: grab what's fresh and in season to add to the top of your cornbread. Ideas include: tomatoes, basil, red onion, kale, spinach, green onion, zucchini.
