1Food Prep

Then, add all of your wet ingredients to the bowl and mix them together until they’re evenly combined. Pour your batter into a greased cast-iron skillet.

3The Cook

    • When your grill reaches 400ºF, place your skillet with the batter on the middle rack of the grill if possible to allow for even air flow and close the lid. Bake for 25 minutes at 400°F.

    • While your cornbread is baking, make the honey butter by whisking together the following ingredients: 2 sticks of butter (melted), ¼ cup of honey and a splash of bourbon (optional).

    • Remove your cornbread from the grill once it has a golden brown exterior.

    • Drizzle on the honey butter, slice and serve!
