🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 unit large egg

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, melted butter, honey, and egg until smooth.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.

6. 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.

7. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

8. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with butter or an extra drizzle of honey, if desired.
