Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 piece large egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, melted butter, and beaten egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 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 additional butter and honey, if desired. Enjoy!
