Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.6667 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a rack in the center of the oven.
Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish (or similar-sized pan) with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Set the pan aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake 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 pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
