Polenta Cornbread

Polenta is simply a coarser grind in comparison to traditional cornmeal, and gives this cornbread an extra special texture. If you’re looking for a softer texture or you only have cornmeal on hand, you can easily swap that in, but I personally love the texture that this had.  For this recipe, I used Wild Hive stone ground polenta.

Ingredients: 

​

• 1 cup all purpose flour

• 1 cup polenta (or cornmeal)

• 8 tablespoons melted butter

In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients (flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) together and fold in the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, honey, and butter). 

 

Step 2: Bake

 

Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 30-35 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
