How to make it
- For the corn bread: Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Generously butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
- Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Add the melted butter and stir into the mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, cut half of the corn bread into cubes no smaller than 1 inch; you should have about 4 cups of loosely packed cubes; reserve the remaining corn bread for another use.
- For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350F. Generously butter an 8- or 9-inch baking dish.
- Place 3 to 4 cups of corn bread cubes in the baking dish; you should
- have enough to just barely cover the bottom of the dish in a single
- layer.
- Set aside.
- In a medium skillet over low heat, melt the butter.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, at least 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- Scatter the onion, cheese, parsley (if using), rosemary and thyme evenly over the corn bread cubes. Using a wooden spoon, carefully turn the cubes to distribute the seasonings.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream, eggs, salt and pepper.
- Pour the cream mixture over the corn bread cubes, adding as much as necessary to almost reach the top of the cubes. (If you use stale or dry corn bread, you will need all of the liquid.)
- Set aside for 10 minutes so the corn bread absorbs some of the custard.
- Bake the pudding in the preheated oven until set and golden, about 40 minutes.
- Allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Serves 8.
