Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.67 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 whole large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or cast-iron skillet, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense cornbread.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan 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 into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
