Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are perfectly fine.
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or 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 slightly in the skillet for 5–10 minutes.
Slice into wedges or squares and serve warm. Enjoy with butter, honey, or your favorite topping!
