Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (120g) yellow cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 1/3 cup (75g) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (250g) sweet potato puree
  • 1/4 cup (60g) softened unsalted butter (for honey butter glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey (for honey butter glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your 8×8 baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs. Stir in milk, melted unsalted butter, and sweet potato puree until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cornbread bakes, mix softened unsalted butter with honey until smooth and creamy to prepare the honey butter glaze.
  7. Let the cornbread cool slightly before spreading the honey butter glaze on top. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.’, ‘Use room-temperature ingredients for smooth mixing.’, ‘Roast fresh sweet potato for deeper flavor before mashing.’, ‘Keep an eye on the baking time to avoid drying out the cornbread.’, ‘Double the recipe for larger gatherings and bake in a 9×13 pan.’]
