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
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 pieces large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch 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.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly 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 the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before slicing.
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter, and enjoy!
