Servings: 16 servings
Equipment
- 9x9 square baking pan
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped, and toasted* for best flavor
for topping (optional)
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Butter a 9x9 square baking dish, and line with parchment paper for easier removal if you like.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan on the stovetop. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until lukewarm or room temperature.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and brown sugar. Add the cooled, melted butter and whisk everything to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients, along with the chopped pecans, to the wet ingredients, and fold everything together until just combined ~ don't over mix.
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.
- Drizzle with the 2 tbsp melted butter and scatter the 1/3 cup chopped pecans over the top.
- Bake at 400F for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350F and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes until puffed up, golden brown, and set in the middle. Note: ovens vary so check on the early side. Over baking can result in dry cornbread.
- Remove and allow to cool before removing from the pan.
Notes
*Toast your pecans quickly and easily in the microwave ~ place in a single layer on a plate and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
