Ingredients
Cornbread
- 1 & 1/2 cups self raising flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 tsp Tasman Sea Salt, Smoked
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup French cultured butter, melted
- 2-3 tbsp Velvet Fields Honey, we used Crimson Forest
- 1 cup shredded cheese, we used Waikato Smoked Gouda
- 3-4 PONS Chilli Peppers (guindillas) - chopped, adjust to preferred heat
- 1/2 cup water, or milk if preferred to loosen the batter
Hot Honey
- 1/2 cup Velvet Fields Honey, we used Crimson Forest
- 1-2 PONS Chilli Peppers (guindillas)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, using the fan force setting. Line a 20cm cake tin with baking paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, cornmeal & salt. Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add melted butter, honey and eggs, mix gently, then add the cheese and chopped guindillas to the cornmeal batter, along with the water to loosen the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set aside, allow to cool slightly before drizzling with hot honey.
Hot Honey
- Heat the honey in a small saucepan over low heat, add the guindillas and allow to infuse.
To Serve
- Drizzle the hot honey over the top of the warm cornbread prior to serving.
