Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (whole milk or buttermilk)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well-combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and honey (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy and thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for 5-10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm, or let it cool completely and store in an airtight container.
