How to Make Honey Butter Sweet Potato Cornbread

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: If you haven’t done so, cook the sweet potato until tender. Mash it until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until well combined.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Bake the Cornbread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the Honey Butter: While the cornbread is baking, beat together the softened butter, honey, and salt (if using) in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  8. Cool and Serve: Once the cornbread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with honey butter.
  9. Enjoy: Your Honey Butter Sweet Potato Cornbread is ready to be enjoyed!

Tips

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Don’t Overmix: Be gentle when combining wet and dry ingredients to keep the cornbread tender.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Different Sweeteners: You can use maple syrup instead of honey for a different flavor.
  • Add Ins: Consider adding chopped nuts or dried fruits for added texture.
