Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the skillet or pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish in the oven to heat while preparing the batter.
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 buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
Carefully remove the heated skillet or baking dish from the oven, and grease it with the vegetable oil. Make sure the oil evenly coats the bottom and sides.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet or prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optional: Drizzle with additional honey or serve with butter for extra deliciousness!
