Ultra Easy 30 Minute Cornbread

Corn bread doesn't have a whole lot of secrets, but I have one. That secret is using herb browned butter in the batter. It's a small extra bit of effort for a massive addition of flavor. Either way, 30 minutes is all you need to make this so let's gooooo.

  • ½ bunch fresh thyme
  • 1.25 cup (185g) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (70g) granulated sugar
  • 3.5 Tbsp (50g) light brown sugar
  • 1.25 tsp (6g) fine sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp (13g) baking powder
  • 1.25 cup (175g) yellow cornmeal (finer grind will be better)
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1.5 cup (350ml) buttermilk

Directions

  1. Start by placing a cast iron pan into a cold oven and begin preheating to 400℉.
  2. In a small pot, add and melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Once the butter has browned, add in fresh sage and thyme. Stir around then place into a container and set to the side.
  4. In a medium-size bowl, add and whisk together all the dry ingredients.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine and whisk together the eggs then whisk in the buttermilk.
  6. Remove the herbs from the browned butter and slowly whisk in the butter into the buttermilk mixture.
  7. Whisk wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven, spray with oil, and add in the batter spreading out evenly to the walls of the pan.
  9. Place back into the oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
  10. Remove and let cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan and placing onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
