Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional for added sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey (if using) until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to dense cornbread.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out 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.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
