brown butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: regular butter

Olive oil is healthier but may lack the nutty flavor.

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan until it starts to brown and smells nutty, then turn off the heat.

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 cup sugar.

In another bowl, mix together 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup oil.

Add the browned butter to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.

Grease a baking dish or cast-iron skillet with bacon shortening and add some browned butter from the pan.

Preheat the greased pan in the oven until hot, then pour in the batter.

Bake until golden brown and edges are crisp, about 20-25 minutes.
