Description
A cozy, autumn-inspired cornbread—moist, tender, and warmly spiced—paired with a fluffy, sweet cinnamon-honey butter for an irresistible fall treat.
Ingredients
1 cup (140 g) all‑purpose flour
1 cup (170 g) cornmeal
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
½ cup (110 g) light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup (244 g) canned pumpkin purée
½ cup (122 g) sour cream
2 large eggs
Cinnamon Honey Butter:
½ cup (113 g) salted butter
⅓ cup (105 g) honey
¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and grease an 8 × 8‑inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
In a second bowl, break up the brown sugar with your fingertips, then stir in the melted butter and pumpkin until combined. Mix in sour cream and eggs until smooth.
Make a well in the dry ingredients, pour in the pumpkin mixture, and gently fold with a rubber spatula just until no streaks of flour remain.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool briefly on a wire rack before slicing.
Meanwhile, whip the salted butter until smooth. Add honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon; mix on low until combined, then increase to high speed and whip for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Serve the warm cornbread with a generous dollop of the cinnamon honey butter.
