Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Farmer's cheese
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and honey, and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Fold the farmer's cheese into the wet mixture, breaking up any large clumps but leaving it slightly chunky for texture.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.

Step 6

Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan or skillet, spreading it evenly 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 in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm, with an optional drizzle of honey or butter.
