Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or a 9-inch round skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and honey until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter looks slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan or skillet and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor. Enjoy!
