Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set aside.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time and whisk until fully incorporated.
Stir in the buttermilk, whole milk, and honey until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread 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.
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly in the dish for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
