Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the milk, honey, and melted butter, whisking until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
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.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm with additional butter or honey, if desired.
