Cornbread with Sage and Maple Brown Butter Glaze
“I like my cornbread on the sweeter side, using maple syrup to infuse ‘Canada’ into a barbecue classic and to keep the bread moist.” — Lawrence La Pianta
Directions
Yield: Makes 9 Pieces
Make Cornbread
- Preheat oven to 375F and grease 9″ x 9″ baking pan with butter or baking spray.
- In large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In separate large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and honey.
- Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean.
Make Glaze
- While cornbread is baking, prepare glaze. In small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter turns brown and has nutty aroma, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup. Pour glaze through strainer to remove sage leaves. Let cool and set aside.
Finish and Serve
- Once cornbread is done, let cool slightly before drizzling ⅓ cup of Sage and Maple Brown Butter Glaze overtop. Cut into 9 equal pieces. Serve warm.
