Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well until they are thoroughly blended.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or cake pan, spreading it evenly.
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.
Allow the corn bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with additional butter or honey if desired.
