Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until well combined. This dry mixture will form the base of the corn bread.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add in the melted unsalted butter, honey, and buttermilk. Mix these wet ingredients until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the bread stays tender.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the corn bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite low-sodium spread or alongside a hearty meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
