🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup honey (for maple honey butter)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for maple honey butter)
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup softened butter (for maple honey butter)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup melted butter

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Take a large mixing bowl and combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, honey, and maple syrup until everything is well blended.
4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until they are combined to avoid overworking the batter.
5. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cornbread is baking, prepare the maple honey butter by mixing the honey, maple syrup, and softened butter until creamy and smooth.
7. Serve the warm cornbread with a generous dollop of maple honey butter spread over the top.
