Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 about 10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
