Cornbread is the perfect addition to a lot of wonderful meals – chilis, soups, chowders, pot roast, ribs or fried chicken to name a few. A lot of southern classics. But paired with this salted thyme honey butter, you actually don’t need anything else.
I love this cornbread so much because the corn flavor is so strong, almost like a corn tortilla. I contribute this to the fact that there is no traditional wheat flour. Instead, this gluten-free cornbread is made with masa harina and cornmeal. You’re going to want to slather so much of the butter on these. The flaky sea salt paired with honey is the perfect combination of sweet and salty.
Cooking Tips
I don’t actually have many tips for this gluten-free cornbread because it’s pretty straightforward. My only suggestion would be to put the pie dish into the oven as it’s pre-heating. If you have a cast-iron skillet, place it in the oven immediately upon turning the oven on. If you are using a ceramic or stainless steel dish, place it in the oven just a few minutes before pouring the cornbread batter in. The purpose of this is to give the edges a beautiful chewy, golden crust that tastes delicious.
Kitchen Essentials
- A 9 inch pie pan or cast iron skillet or 8×8 inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls and mixing spoons
- Measuring cups and measuring spoons
- A stand mixer with the whisk attachment or hand mixer, for the butter
Substitutions
- Buttermilk: If you don’t have any buttermilk, add 2 tbsp of white vinegar to a small bowl with 2 cups of milk and stir. Allow this to sit for 10 or so minutes, then use in place of buttermilk.
- Fresh thyme: 1 tbsp of fresh thyme can be substituted with 1/2 tsp dried thyme.
How to store cornbread
This cornbread doesn’t last long in my house, so I prefer to store it at room temperature. The consistency is better and I don’t have to worry about it spoiling. If you think it will last more than a few days in your house, I recommend storing both the butter and the cornbread in the fridge where it will last up to a week. The butter will last much longer, up to one to three months.
