Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Serve with additional butter, honey, or your favorite sides!
