Cornbread isn’t a recipe that should just stay in the south. Its perfect for a summertime BBQ right next to your plate of delicious ribs or even a burger. Cornbread is super simple to make and can be ready in only 30 minutes. It’s soft on the outside with a crisp edge every bite instantly makes you feel comforted.

If you are a fan of sweet cornbread i’ve got you covered too. Simply brush the honey butter glaze over the top of the bread when it comes out of the oven. It will soak into all the little crevices and make every bite a sweet treat. The base of the recipe is not overly sweet so you can tailor it to your preference.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Cornmeal: To get that classic corn bread look use yellow corn meal instead of white. Both kinds will still produce a tasty end result. Make sure the cornmeal is finely milled as well so you don’t have a crunchy bread.
  • Buttermilk: If you don’t have any buttermilk you can make your own. For every 1 cup of regular milk, stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Baking In a Muffin Tin: While I have not tested making these in a muffin pan i’m positive it would work great! Simply adjust the time needed to cook and keep a close eye so they do not burn. I estimate it taking 15-20 minutes.
  • Storage: Keep this in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Since the bread is so moist is will go bad quickly (the glaze also speeds up this process). You can freeze the bread for up to 4 months, just thaw it fully before eating or warming up.
