Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Bacon Grease
  • ½ cup Honey
  • 2-¼ cups buttermilk
  • 1 Tablespoon Louisiana Hot Sauce
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1-½ cups yellow cornmeal fine or medium-coarse grind
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1-½ Teaspoons salt
  • ½ Teaspoons baking soda
  • 3 Tablespoons Sugar optional

Instructions

  • Add Bacon grease to cast iron skillet and put into the oven. Turn on to 375°F and allow to heat up with the oven.
  • Add all the dry ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl and mix together.
  • Add all the wet ingredients into another mixing bowl and mix well.
  • Take the wet ingredients and add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Once the oven has reached the right temperature pour the batter into the hot skillet.
  • Cook in the oven for 25-35 minutes (or a toothpick inserted comes out clean)

Notes

I added the sugar option as I know that some people like their cornbread a little sweeter! I like it this way, without the sugar as sweetness can always be added afterward with a drizzle of honey!
