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 whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 pieces large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similarly sized cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 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 smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter has small lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the back of your spoon or 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 let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
