I've always added corn whether it be cream of corn or regular corn to my cornbread, and have always added honey... this time I added browned butter. Oh my heaven's!! The nutty taste of the browned butter coupled with the sweetness of the honey and the slight crunch of corn?? Well, you will have them waiting at the kitchen door from the moment they see you getting the packaged mix out. That's right... simplicity as it's best, without any sacrifice of flavor!!

How To Make browned butter & honey cornbread

  • 1
    Using a medium bowl, prepare corn bread mix according to directions on package. Set aside. In a small saute pan over low-medium heat, melt your butter and brown it. How do you brown butter? Once you melt the butter continue cooking it for about 1 minute. You will see first see the bubbles increasing, stir a couple of time, the bubbles should decrease, and you will begin to smell a hint of nuttiness. Pull it off the heat "immediately" and transfer into a small bowl. Butter browns easily but can burn even faster. Let it cool for a half a minute. Using same skillet, pour the butter back in but reserve 2 tbsp for later basting.
