Best Pecan Topped Cornbread With Honey Butter Recipes

HONEY BUTTER CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the butter in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet and place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter, about 5 to 13 minutes (keep an extra eye on it as time goes on-we want it to get bubbly and lightly browned, but not burnt).
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir to combine, and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and honey until fully blended. Add the milk and whisk until evenly combined.
• Pour the liquid into the dry mixture, and stir just until moistened through (we'll stir it more soon). When the butter is melted and golden, use oven mitts (the skillet is crazy hot!) to remove the skillet from the oven, and give it a gentle swirl to lightly coat about an inch up the sides.
• Pour the melted butter into the batter and stir just until incorporated. Pour the batter back into the hot skillet, using a spatula to scrape all of the batter from the bowl into the skillet.
• Carefully return the skillet to the oven and bake until the bread is brown around the edge, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully (with oven mitts), place the skillet on a cooling rack. Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving-perhaps with extra butter, honey or jam on the side.
• This cornbread will keep at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or up to a week in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Gently reheat before serving.

SWEET CORN-PECAN BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease bottom and sides of 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in eggs and corn until well mixed. Stir in flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt, scraping bowl once, just until blended. Stir in pecans. Pour into pan.
• Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 30 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 45 minutes, before slicing.

PECAN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Sprinkle pecans in ungreased 8-inch cast-iron skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until nuts are light brown. Remove pecans from skillet; set aside.
• Add ham to skillet; cook 2 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Place ham in medium bowl. Keep skillet hot.
• Add muffin mix, milk, egg product and toasted pecans to bowl with ham; stir just until moistened. Pour batter into hot skillet.
• Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 8 wedges. Serve warm.

PECAN-HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a single layer until ligthly toasted and fragrant, stirring occasionally. This should take about 7 minutes. Use your nose to judge when they are done -- they shouldn't smell burned. Cool and finely chop the pecans. (You can make more toasted pecans than you need for this recipe. The toasted pecans can be used for lots of things!).
• Stir together 1/2 cup butter, softened; 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans, and 2 tbsp honey.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze up to 1 month.

PECAN CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread pecans on a large rimmed baking sheet, and toast until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium. Add onion and celery; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add wine, and cook until evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; let cool slightly.
• To bowl, add cornbread, sage, eggs, and pecans. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and teaspoon pepper. Pour 1/2 cup hot broth over cornbread mixture. Toss gently (cornbread will break down into smaller pieces). If necessary, add up to 1/2 cup more broth so stuffing is moist but not soggy.
• If stuffing turkey, set aside 4 cups dressing. Spoon remaining dressing into a buttered 2-quart baking dish; pour up to 1 cup remaining broth over top to moisten. (To make ahead, refrigerate, up to 5 hours.) Bake, covered, for 30 minutes; uncover, and bake until browned, about 15 minutes more. Makes 12 cups.
