Super Easy Honey Butter Cornbread
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix (+ ingredients needed to make it, i.e. 1 egg, 1/3 c milk)
- 1/2 stick (4 tbs) salted butter - melted (can use unsalted, but i like salted to balance out the honey's sweetness)
- 3 tbsp honey (or to taste for sweetness you want)
- Spray an 8x8 in.
- baking dish with nonstick cooking spray for cornbread.
- (Or 8 in.
- round dish, or even 8x4 in.
- loaf pan).
- Prepare and bake corn muffin mix according to package directions for "johnny cakes" (aka cornbread).
- Set timer for 15 minutes, this is 5 minutes less than minimum baking time.
- When 15 minutes is almost up place butter in a microwave safe bowl, melt in microwave for about 30 - 45 seconds.
- Stir in honey.
- Return mixture to microwave and continue heating in 20 second increments, stirring after each, until butter and honey are completely melted together (only took once for me).
- Consistency should be pretty thin.
- When 15 minute timer goes off, remove cornbread from oven and immediately poke several rows of holes in the top with a fork.
- Slowly drizzle honey butter all over the top, making sure plenty gets in the holes to let the sweet, buttery goodness settle inside.
- Also pour some around the edges so it gets to the bottom of the cornbread too.
- Return cornbread to oven for 5 - 10 minutes more to finish baking and caramelize the honey butter left coating the surface.
- Top should be a little darker than golden brown.
- Remove from oven, let sit about 5 minutes before serving.
- Cut, eat, enjoy.
