Sweet Potato Cornbread with Hot Honey Lime butter

I’ve always looked forward to celebrating New Year’s Day with a giant feast of black eyed peas, greens, and cornbread. This holy trinity of southern food stems out of the African diaspora, like many southern favorites, and they are a symbol of luck, money, and prosperity in the forthcoming year.

I eat a lot of cornbread this time of year, not just on January 1, because it makes for the perfect comforting side to go with all the soups and chili I make in the cold months. I’ve been trying out new flavor combinations for a while, and I wanted to share a recipe for one of my favorites: sweet potato cornbread with hot honey lime butter. I love the flavor combination—it's a little sweet and spicy and sour. You may wany to make a double batch of the butter because if you're like me you'll slather it on every bite.

The black eyed peas recipe I make each year is inspired by a Greek stew. It isn’t the traditional southern way of eating the dish—there's no pork, and it's a little lighter. In my opinion, the biggest flavor boost comes from the fresh lemon juice and herbs stirred in at the end. I also love the salty-sour pop from the addition of feta cheese.


Sweet Potato Cornbread with Hot Honey Lime butter

Yield: Makes 16 servings

Time: 30 minutes prep, 35 minutes cook

Ingredients

For the cornbread

  • 1 cup (152 grams) cornmeal
  • 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup (240 grams) sweet potato puree*
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) brown butter, cooled to room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120 grams) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (107 grams) brown sugar**

For the hot honey lime butter

  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) Challenge salted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
  • 2 Tablespoons hot honey***
  • Zest from 1 lime

Directions

For the cornbread

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper and spray coat with nonstick spray.
  • Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, stir together sweet potato puree, brown butter, eggs, sour cream, maple syrup, and brown sugar.
  • Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Pour batter into baking dish.
  • Place in oven and bake to 35 to 40 minutes, or until center of cornbread feels firm and slightly springy.

For the hot honey lime butter

  • Stir together butter, hot honey, and lime zest until smooth.

Notes:

*Make sweet potato puree by roasting sweet potato at 450 for 90 minutes or peeling, chopping, and boiling potato until tender. Put cooked sweet potato in food processor until smooth.

**Melt butter in thick-bottomed skillet on medium heat. Continue to heat butter until foam on top subsides and brown specks form at bottom of skillet. Remove the skillet from the burner and pour the butter into a bowl to prevent it from continuing to cook. Allow the butter to cool to room temperature before incorporating it into the rest of the wet ingredients.

***I purchased hot honey, but if you can’t find any, you can make your own.

  1. Despite the fact that due to bad credit report, I was unable to get a loan on time since I lost my job. After explaining my problem my cousin Mirabel, she introduced me to a specialist (Rootkits Credit Specialist). They helped me raise my credit from 581 to 799 and also added good trade lines. I’m recommending Rootkits as promised to anybody in dire need of credit update. You can reach theme via mail: rootkitscreditspecialist@gmail.com or whatsapp:+1(626) 514 0620

  2. The criminal record on my credit deprived me of so many opportunities alongside 19 hard inquiries and about 15 derogatory items which messed up my report and lowered my credit score to low 520. After my mum told me about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, I reached out to them immediately and complied with the proposal, after about 6 days I was asked to pull my report to confirm the job has been done. YES…… My score is now 801 on average and all of those things are removed. He is really a great hacker; contact him now via: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM or Text +1 (480) 420-8331.
    PS: I wasn’t in any way induced to make this review.

  5. My words of advice to everyone out there, please have a proper insight before investing in these online cryptocurrency trading platforms and binary options. My co worker introduced me to one such platform where he had invested $300,000 which would generate $500,000 in 2 weeks. After much convincing from my work partner, I saw it as a lucrative opportunity and so I jumped on it and invested my $215,500 to earn $430,000 within the same period. I started noticing red flags when they asked my colleague to pay for such charges to facilitate the withdrawal process which was never successful. The same happened to me when my 2 weeks was due, By the time we realized it was a scam, they had already robbed us a total of $850,000. We opted to hire an investigator and a top hacking syndicate who took our case, and in three days, they had tracked the scammers and refunded our money. Contact them on spyhost@cyberdude .com

  8. I would strongly encourage you to either avoid cryptocurrency trading entirely or invest very cautiously if you are unfamiliar with it. In an effort to boost my earnings, I was forced to put a sizeable portion of my life savings on a forex platform, but I ultimately lost more than 43,000 USD. After investing and making money, I was not permitted to withdraw my money. I tried contacting customer care via letter, but it didn't work, so I knew I had been scammed. Fortunately, I found a legitimate retrieval organization named CyberPunk Programmers. I came across an identical online review of CyberPunk Programmers and their capacity to help me restore my pilfered funds.
