With just 10 minutes of prep time and a quick 20-minute bake, this golden cornbread is the ultimate side dish for hearty meals or a delightful snack on its own.

Perfect for weeknight dinners, potlucks, or holiday gatherings, this easy cornbread recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
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 bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey (if using) until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 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 allow it to cool slightly in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
