Welp, it’s bun’s season, and we’ve got some good ones…Salted Honey Butter Cornbread Brioche Burger Buns.
And by buns, I do obviously mean the ones for your burger.
I know that making burger buns is just an extra step, but for me, it’s a step worth taking. Living where I live, the bread selection is honestly not that awesome, so when looking for burger buns my choices are pretty much confined to the white ones my brothers love.
Those buns work really well for plain burgers with cheese and ketchup, or this burger, where all you need a simple kid bun. But when making burgers with some um – attitude, like these, these and oh definitely these. You are going to want to compliment them with a really good bun.
The bottom line, every good burger needs a worthy bun.
So I thought, what goes better with cookout foods than cornbread? It’s just a classic summer cookout staple. With Memorial Day being barely over a week away, it was time to start breaking out the cookout recipes.
These buns are the perfect final accessory to almost any burger. You can leave off the salted honey butter if you want a more savory burger, but the honey pairs really nicely if you are doing a spicy burger or possibly even a southern burger. It’s totally up to you.
Trust me though, being able to resist eating these straight out of the oven with a pat of the salted honey butter takes some willpower. If you are a bread lover, I would definitely recommend making extra. Actually, you could even serve them as dinner rolls if you happen to have any leftover the next night. Oh, or toast them with um, more butter, and fresh blueberries for breakfast?? YUM. So many options here.
They are pretty quick and easy to make. You can either use your hands to knead the dough or use a dough hook if your mixer has one. I went with my mixer because I was making multiple things at the same time on this day and I really needed my hands. This is why I love my mixer, it gives me my hands to keep on working!

Let’s make burgers!
These look so delicious! What a great surprise to bring to a cookout!
Do you ever make hot dog buns? I was at Tulip Time in Holland and there is a street vendor there and she makes her own hot dog buns. O.M.G
Ha! I actually just did, but they ar not the usual buns. I beat those where so good!!
Thanks!
Ah-mazing! As always, you talented thing! I’ve never bothered making my own hamburger buns as there are some amazing bakeries near me, but if I did, this would be my recipe. Actually, maybe I should try them this weekend (baking = relaxing bliss!) x
Thanks so much!!
Gurrrrl. These look so fantastic. Such a great combination of flavours. It’s not often the bun sounds good enough to eat on it’s own!
Well shit, these are some damn fine buns! I never made buns- so yeah this is gonna happen!
Incredibly delicious!
Ohmigerd! These look and sound amazing!
We love burgers too, and it would be so worth it to make these. Can;t wait to try them over the summer Tieghan, thanks!
I would absolutely inhale these and the honey butter is a must! Gorgeous!
Mmmmmmm Mmmmm droooooling here! These buns are GORG-SSSS! and why would anyone want to skip the honey butter step? It’ll just make a spicy chicken burger taste all the more AWESOMEEEEEE!!!!!!
these look great but it would be so nice to have a photo of the insides as well ~~could you possibly add another photo ~ am just curious as to how dense or fluffy the insides are with the added adjustments ~also i always thought that anything titled with brioche must have over the top eggs and butter in them and while a good looking bun i am not to sure brioche is a viable title for these and please do not take any offence as none is meant ~~~ great take on the added cornmeal by the way
These buns look delicious! I love the idea of making a cornbread bun for a burger – I’ve never had something like that, but it sounds amazing! And salted honey butter is definitely something that I need to make ASAP!
These buns sound so good! I have to say, now I am thinking about whether I could devise a burger that would work with a blueberry sauce, because I too would be tempted by just blueberries. So perfect with honey sweetness & cornmeal crunch!
these are some sexy buns.
These look fantastic! Adding a cornbread twist is such a creative way to break away from the expected and take burgers to the next level – thanks for the great idea! I found your blog a few weeks ago and have been absolutely loving your photography and recipes.
These look incredible…working with dough scares me for some reason…I would never skip the honey butter.
