Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.67 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or spoon just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges.
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 allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
Enjoy warm, either plain or with a pat of butter or drizzle of honey on top!
