GINGER HONEY CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. When the temperature has reached 400°F, place a 9"-pre-seasoned cast iron skillet in the oven and heat it while preparing the cornbread batter. In a bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, whisk the eggs with granulated sugar until you get a pale, yellow foam. Add the grated ginger, ginger honey and root beer. Using a wooden spatula, continuously stir while adding the dry ingredient mix, corn meal, butter, 1 tablespoon of candied ginger, milk, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir well until smooth and wet. Do NOT over-mix for a light result. Open the oven and remove the skillet. Immediately brush the hot skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil, greasing the inside. Transfer the cornbread batter into the hot skillet. Bake for about 10 minutes at 375°F, then lower the heat to 350°F for another 20 minutes. Open the oven; sprinkle with the remaining candied ginger, rotate the skillet for a homogenous result and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes. A skewer or a toothpick inserted into the cornbread should come out clean. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool. Flip out the cornbread, then transfer to a cooling rack.

GINGER HONEY

Steps:

• Pour the honey into a small saucepan and add the ginger and other spices/flavorings if using. Over medium low heat, bring the honey to a slow and low simmer. Don't get it too hot or it will not have the right consistency. Watching the honey carefully, allow the flavors to infuse for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Remove the honey from the heat and allow it to cool. Transfer to a container for storage and allow it to sit for about 5 days before using. (You can try using it sooner but the flavor may not be fully infused) The honey will keep for approximately 2 weeks after the 5 day waiting period.
