How to Make Amusement Park Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (30g) yellow cornmeal, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup (240ml) milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared skillet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cornbread is golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm with honey butter.
