Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 pieces large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, whole milk, honey, and eggs until smooth and evenly mixed.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out 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 slightly in the dish for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or enjoy on its own!
