Corn Bread with Honey Butter

Corn Bread with Honey Butter

Hot corn bread with honey butter is sooooooo yummy.  I try my best not to make this very often as it is so fattening.  The corn bread isn't really that bad, it's all the honey butter that ends up on it that is the problem.  To whom ever invented honey butter, I love you and hate you at the same time!

Here is a really good recipe for corn bread.  

Corn Bread

Here is a list of ingredients.  Flour, cornmeal (polenta), milk, egg, sugar, oil, baking powder and salt.

Polenta.
For those of us who live in Australia, American cornmeal is called Polenta here.

First mix your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, then add all your wet ingredients and mix well with a whisk.

This is how it should look.  Very similar to cake batter.

Spray a 8x8 cooking dish with cooking spray.

Pour the batter into the dish.  Bake at 200C or 400F for 20-25 minutes.  Check the bread by putting a skewer or knife into the middle at about 20 minutes to see if it is cooked.  

Don't over cook this or it will be dry and crumbly.  

It should be golden brown on top.

It should slice nicely into approximately 9 good servings.

Add some honey butter and you are set to enjoy.

Corn Bread Ingredients

• 1 Cup Plain Flour
• 1 Cup Cornmeal (Polenta)
• 1 Cup Milk
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 1/3 Cup Oil
• 1 Large Egg
• 3 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Salt

Honey Butter

This is almost too good to be true...

The ingredients.  Honey and Butter! :-)

Make sure your butter and honey are at room temperature.

Place the butter into a mixer.

Mix for about 1 minute.

With the mixer running, pour the honey into the mixer. Mix for about a minute.

Scrape the sides down with a spatula.  Then mix again until the honey butter gets a nice glossy sheen to it.

 I have put it into a ramekin to serve.
