Ingredients

cranberry butter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons whole berry cranberry sauce
  • pinch of kosher salt

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x9 baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • First up, brown the butter! Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk and stir continuously while the butter bubbles. Whisk as brown bits appear on the bottom and remove the skillet from the heat - you don’t want it to burn.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornbread, baking powder and salt.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the brown butter and sugar with a wooden spoon until combined, so it’s almost like the texture of sand. (Most of the sugar will be absorbed by the butter!)
  • Add the eggs, corn and yogurt to the butter mixture. Whisk until combined (it won’t be smooth).
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until they are just incorporated. Don’t overmix! Pour the mixture into a 9x9 baking dish.
  • Bake the cornbread until golden and set in the center, about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.. Let cool slightly before serving with the cranberry butter.
