Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 units Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Chopped scallions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions to add the savory elements to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 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 pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Sweet and Savory Cornbread warm, either plain or paired with butter or honey!
