Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole kernel corn (drained if canned)
- 0.5 cup creamed corn
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey (if using).
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the whole kernel corn and creamed corn to the batter and gently stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm with butter or a drizzle of honey if desired.
