Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Kitchen Scale
  • Grain Mill I love the nutrimill classic
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Cast Iron I reccomend 9x9
  • Whisk
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 100 grams of soft white
  • 92 grams of kamut
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven and cast iron

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a 9x9-inch cast iron and place into the oven while it preheats.

Mill your flour

  • Mill your wheat berries

Whisk the dry ingredients

  • Whisk together the fresh milled flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Combine the wet ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and eggs

Add the milk and combine the wet and dry ingredients

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients and the buttermilk and stir until just mixed. Don’t overmix—this keeps the cornbread tender!

Bake

  • Pour into your well greased cast iron and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Enjoy

  • Let cool for 15 minutes and then remove from the cast iron. Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.*

Notes

Storage: Place in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days. I recommend cutting and freezing within a day of making these. They thaw great in the microwave.
Only cool in the cast iron for 15 minutes & then slice and remove from the pan so it doesn't continue cooking
