Ingredients

• 6 slices of cornbread, about 1-inch thick
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional for extra warmth)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins inside the Arteflame grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins.
4. Light the paper and allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the honey butter

1. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, sea salt, and cinnamon.
2. Mix until smooth and creamy, then set aside.

Step 3: Grill the cornbread

1. Place the cornbread slices on the flat griddle cooktop near the center for a higher heat sear.
2. Grill each side for about 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
3. Move the slices to a cooler zone on the cooktop to prevent overcooking while finishing the other slices.

Step 4: Serve

1. Spread the honey butter generously over the grilled cornbread.
2. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips

• Use freshly baked or day-old cornbread to get the best texture.
• Adjust the grilling time to your preferred level of crispiness.
• For extra flavor, brush the cornbread with a little melted butter before grilling.

Variations

1. Spicy Honey Butter: Add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the honey butter for a sweet and spicy kick.
2. Cheesy Cornbread: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on the cornbread before grilling for a melty, savory bite.
3. Maple Cinnamon Butter: Swap out honey for maple syrup and add extra cinnamon for a cozy flavor.
4. Garlic Herb Butter: Mix finely chopped garlic and parsley into the butter for a savory twist.
5. Jalapeño Cornbread: Add finely diced jalapeños to the cornbread before grilling for a mild heat.
