Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.333 cup Honey
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and honey until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then stir in the buttermilk and whole milk until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 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. Optionally, drizzle additional honey over the top for extra sweetness.
Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your honey moist cornbread as a comforting and flavorful treat!
