Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and honey until fully combined.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredient mixture and pour in the wet ingredients.

Step 5

Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

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 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your homemade cornmeal bread as a side for soups, stews, or as a snack on its own!
