Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams yellow cornmeal
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard loaf pan (approximately 9x5 inches) to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cornbread loaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
