Ideal for weeknights or gatherings, Kokee Cornbread is your go-to side dish that never fails to impress!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or cast-iron skillet, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon 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 in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
