Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tbsp honey (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, whole milk, honey, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, 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 for 5-10 minutes in the pan before slicing into squares or wedges.
For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle the top with additional honey before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
