By peridot728

Ingredients

• 2 cups cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
• 4 eggs, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1/4 cup honey
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
In a separate, medium bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, buttermilk, honey and butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
Pour the batter into a cast-iron skillet; use a spatula to smooth to an even layer if needed. Place in the oven and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Serve the cornbread in the skillet.
