Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in the chopped fresh sage, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and honey until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly 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 slightly in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
