How to Make Amusement Park Cornbread

- Lightly grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet.
- 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.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- 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.

- Pour batter into the prepared skillet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cornbread is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm with honey butter.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
