Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and honey until fully combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredient mixture and pour in the wet ingredients.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top 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.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade cornmeal bread as a side for soups, stews, or as a snack on its own!
