Skillet Maple Bourbon Cornbread Recipe
Maple bourbon cornbread is sweetened with maple syrup and boozed up with a splash of bourbon
Servings: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable/canola oil
- 1.5-2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease an 8 or 9-inch cast iron skillet.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, maple syrup, melted butter, bourbon, and egg.
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined/moistened, do not over-mix, and do not whisk out the lumps!
- Pour the batter into the skillet and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve warm with soft butter and honey.
Notes
Do not overmix the dry and wet ingredients together. Do not whisk out the lumps. This adds a nice texture.
Grease the skillet with bacon grease for extra flavor and browning! This is one of my favorite ways to use leftover bacon grease from breakfast.
Topping cornbread with honey and butter turns it into dessert. Seriously.
You don't have to make this recipe in a skillet. It also works in a standard 8x8 baking dish or 9-inch round pan.
