Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 0.333 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, whole milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm with butter, honey, or any of your favorite toppings.
