Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 units large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a 9-inch round pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the oven and let the corn bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
