Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan or a similarly sized cast-iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter. Stir well until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the bowl and beat them into the sugar and butter mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the whole milk and (optional) honey, blending everything together until well mixed.

Step 6

In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan or skillet, spreading it out with a spatula if needed.

Step 9

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 10

Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm with butter, honey, or as a side to your favorite dish.
