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
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or nonstick spray, 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 medium mixing bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, honey, eggs, and sour cream until smooth and fully integrated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
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 pan from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy warm, topped with butter or honey, or serve as a side with your favorite dish!
