Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well until they are thoroughly blended.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Allow the corn bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with additional butter or honey if desired.
