Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 unit egg (large)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter has a few small lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top 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 from the oven and let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving.
Optional: Drizzle additional honey over the top before serving for extra sweetness.
