Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and honey until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread it out evenly.
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.
Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares or wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
