Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish and set aside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to combine.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and honey until smooth.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.

  5. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this Cattle Drive Cornbread.
