Cornbread

From the cornbread thread.

It seems as if there are as many cornbread variations as there are "perfect" fried chicken recipes, but here is one of the myriad ones taking up my recipe box that seems to work quite nicely, with a little honey added for sweetness. Also it helps to not work the batter too much as it will result in a less risen final product.

We also like homemade maple butter to go along with it.

• 
  

For the cornbread

• 1-1/4 c ap flour
  
• 3/4 c yellow cornmeal (I use stoneground for a little coarser texture)
  
• 1 T baking powder
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 2 lg eggs
  
• 2 T honey
  
• 1 c milk
  
• 2 T melted unsalted butter
  

For the maple butter

• 1/2 lb unsalted butter
  
• 1/2 c maple syrup
  
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  
• 1 tsp salt
  

preheat 8 inch cast iron skillet in 425 oven with 3 tbsp Crisco for 15-20 mins

Whisk together dry ingredients. Whisk together wet ingredients. Add the wet to the dry until just combined. Remove the skillet from the oven and pour in mixture. Bake for 20-25 mins.
