Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly ground whole wheat flour
- 1 cup freshly ground cornmeal
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups honey
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the freshly ground whole wheat flour, freshly ground cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense cornbread.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula if needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Slice and enjoy your Honey Wheat Cornbread with butter, additional honey, or as a side to your favorite meal!
