Skillet Brown Butter Cornbread with Miso Maple Butter Recipe

Whether you’re planning to host a Thanksgiving-inspired dinner or want to try your hand at some classic American cooking, you’ll love this recipe for buttery, savoury-sweet cornbread. Our brown butter cornbread with miso maple butter is crispy around the edges, moist in the middle, ready in a few minutes and wonderful on its own or as a side dish.

It has a touch of sweetness from fresh corn and a pinch of sugar, a warm, umami undertone from brown butter, and a sweet and salty finish of miso maple butter. (Miso, a fermented paste from Japan made with soybeans and koji—a type of mould—has been around for millennia, and adds a burst of flavour to any dish.) You can use coarse-ground cornmeal for a more rustic texture or fine ground for a cakier feel. Either way, this recipe is a winner.

Skillet Brown Butter Cornbread with Miso Maple Butter Recipe

Note

When choosing miso, we recommend going for white or yellow. These lighter misos are fermented for a shorter time than darker misos, such as red, and offer a milder flavour that can add a salty umami kick without being too overpowering.
