Iron Skillet Honey Corn Bread

4/14/2022

Sweet honey cornbread baked in an iron skillet is the perfect addition to a summer BBQ or a warm bean soup on a cool fall day.  You will love its golden crispy edges with buttery moist bread inside.

I have been making honey cornbread in an iron skillet for several years and I prefer the shape and size over using a rectangle pan.  Isn't it beautiful.  Plus there is the added benefit of iron being absorbed into the bread from the pan while it is baking.

This really is the best corn bread I have ever made.  The boys love it and ask for any leftovers for a snack.

What size skillet should I use to make this cornbread recipe?

I use a large 12 inch iron skillet which is the perfect size for this recipe.  

This cornbread is on the sweet side and is great with a bowl of chili or as a sweet treat smothered in butter and honey or apple butter.  

Iron Skillet Honey Cornbread

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
1/2 cup honey
1 1/3 cups milk
2 1/3 cups flour
1 1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup corn meal
1 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cream sugar and butter. Add in eggs, honey and milk and mix well.
3. Mix together flour, baking powder, corn meal and salt.
4. Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients carefully. Do not over-mix. Batter will be lumpy.
5.Pour batter into greased iron skillet.  I use my large 12 inch iron skillet.  I butter the skillet really well or rub coconut oil all over it before pouring in the batter.  I have found that coconut oil works really well for greasing cake and bread pans.  
6. Bake for about 25 minutes.  Do not over-bake.  You want nice moist cornbread, not dry cornbread. 

Yum

I can't wait to try this!! I have been looking for a honey corn bread recipe for years. I always buy the Krusteaz brand at the store but have wanted to make my own for so long. Thank you. Will try it out this week.

You will love it! Bake it in an iron skillet if you have one for the best crispy edges.

Hi there, found your recipe when I did a search for cornbread. All my recipes are in storage right now, so needed another. I can tell a god recipe by reading it. This was perfect. It rose beautifully and had a good crumb. Made it for my southwest eggs Benedict I'll be making tomorrow morning but meanwhile my daughter and I cut big pieces and added some juicy peach slices and vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of blackberry honey. Out of this world good!

I love cornbread but so rarely make it. I may have to borrow my MIL's iron skillet and give it a try! Thanks so much for linking up with us at Share The Wealth Sunday!

My Mom always made cornbread like this only without the honey. Tip: Put the iron skillet on top of a hot burner for a few minutes b4 baking, it makes for a nice bottom which becomes the top of your cornbread.

Thanks for the tip Debbi. I bet your Mom's cornbread was the best.

Thanks for the comment about skillet size. I'm sure others have wondered the same thing. I measured my skillet to see and it is a 12 inch skillet.
