Servings: 8 servings
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Total: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 108g (1/2 cup) extra-virgin olive oil or neutral oil, plus more for greasing
  • 120g (3/4 cup) cornmeal
  • 240g (1 cup) buttermilk
  • 120g (1/2 cup) sour cream
  • 2 eggs 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
  • 125g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 3g (1/2 teaspoon) kosher salt
  • 3g (1/2 teaspoon) baking soda
  • 2g (1/2 teaspoon) baking powder
  • 40g (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for serving
  • 170g (6 ounces) feta, pat dry and crumbled
  • Honey, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. To a bowl add the oil, cornmeal, buttermilk, sour cream, eggs and sugar. Whisk until combined. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, gently mixing the dry ingredients with your fingers to evenly distribute the rising agents throughout the flour. Whisk everything until combined.
  3. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and stir until melted and sizzling. Pour the cornbread batter in the pan, sprinkle the feta all over and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until lightly golden in the center. You can tap the center to check for doneness: if it feels liquid and wobbly underneath, it needs more time; if springy, it’s ready.
  4. Brush with more butter and drizzle with honey. Serve warm.

You may have seen my work on TV, Food Network, NYT Cooking, Food52 and more. I make recipes more fun and accessible for home cooks. I immigrated to the US from Transylvania, Romania—where I lived most of my life—in 2021 to pursue my passion for cooking full-time. Here you’ll find a collection of approachable recipes, from weeknight dinners to desserts, you’ll come back to over and over again. Some of my most popular recipes include my chicken paprikash, orange chicken roast with fennel and shallots or butter beans all vodka. Some recipes are inspired by my Romanian-Hungarian upbringing, and most definitely all come with that Transylvanian resourcefulness! I love a good thrift, so make sure to catch my thrift hauls every Sunday on my Instagram!
