Cornbread

  •  1 cup cornmeal (medium grind for more texture or regular/fine cornmeal if you prefer a more delicate crumb)
  •  1 cup all-purpose flour
  •  2 teaspoons baking powder
  •  1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  •  1⅓ cup canned pumpkin puree
  •  ½ cup Danish Creamery European Style Butter, melted
  •  ⅓ cup brown sugar
  •  2 large eggs, room temperature
  •  1 cup whole milk

Cinnamon Hot Honey Butter Sauce

  •  ½ cup Danish Creamery European Style Butter
  •  ½ cup hot honey
  •  1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
  • In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and milk until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; some lumps are totally fine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • In a small saucepan, add butter, hot honey, and ground cinnamon. Heat gently, whisking until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
  • Drizzle the warm butter sauce over the sliced cornbread.
