Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 units large eggs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a 9-inch round pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 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 let the corn bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
