Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, beaten egg, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out 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 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
