Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.6667 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a rack in the center of the oven.

Step 2

Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish (or similar-sized pan) with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Set the pan aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.

Step 4

In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until well combined.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look lumpy.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake 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 cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
