Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined — do not overmix.
- 4
Pour the batter into a greased 6-inch round pan or silicone mold that fits your air fryer.
- 5
Cook at 350°F for 15-18 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with butter and honey.
Tip: Buttermilk is essential for tender cornbread — if you don't have any, make a quick substitute by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
