Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick spray.
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 medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing to ensure a tender crumb.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using 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 your Heavenly Cornbread warm, drizzled with extra honey or alongside your favorite meals!
