Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similarly sized cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the butter. Let it cool slightly before mixing it with the wet ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
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 cornbread to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
