Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 pieces large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or cast iron skillet.
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 buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth and fully blended.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it.
Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread tender.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan or skillet, smoothing the top 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 from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite accompaniment. Enjoy!
