Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy but fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan 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.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with a pat of butter, drizzle of honey, or on its own as a sweet treat!
