Honey Cornbread

Ingredients

• 1 cup plant buttermilk (see below to make yourself)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
• 1 egg or vegan egg replacers like Namaste (Amazon)
• 2/3 cup honey
• 4 tablespoons plant butter such as Earth Balance Organic, can be softened for easier handling.
• 1 1/4 cup flour or 6 1/4 oz by weight
• 1 cup cornmeal or 5 oz by weight
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Make buttermilk - Combine 1 cup oat milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar, let sit for 10 min.
• Make vegan egg replacer such as Namaste - see Amazon.
• Whisk the wet ingredients together - buttermilk, eggs or vegan egg replacer, honey, melted margarine.
• In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients - flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixer.
• Add wet to dry ingredients until just combined, do not overmix. (Can do by hand or in a slow mixer).
• Pour into a buttered metal straight-edged 10x10" pan. (Glass pans have curved edges, take 5-10 min longer).
• Bake for 35-40 min. Test for doneness when a toothpick in the center has no batter and the center feels firm.
