Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheating the Oven: Begin with preheating your oven to 400F (200C). Prepare a 9-inch square baking pan either by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mixing Basic Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened butter, honey, and ground cinnamon until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Integrating Wet Ingredients: To the butter mixture, incorporate the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, and buttermilk, stirring until everything is evenly combined.
- Combining Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Merging Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Be cautious to avoid overmixing to maintain the bread’s texture.
- Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cooling: Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
