Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup medium-ground cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- 2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
- 3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- 4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix melted butter, honey, eggs, milk, and mashed sweet potatoes until smooth.
- 5. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- 6. Bake Until Golden: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- 7. Serve Warm: Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm with additional honey butter if desired.
