Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons butter, divided
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and oil to a round cake pan.  Put in the oven to melt, about 3-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.

Gradually add honey and buttermilk, and stir until just combined.

Add egg and stir.

Remove hot butter and oil from oven.  Pour half of the butter/oil mixture into the cornbread batter and leave the rest in the pan.  Carefully stir in the butter/oil mixture into batter.  pour the batter into the center of the pan, so the batter will push the remaining melted butter/oil mixture to the sides of the pan, which will make a crunchy crust!

Put in the preheated oven for 40 - 50 minutes or until lightly browned.  Once out the oven, rub the top of the cornbread with the last tablespoon of butter.
