Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Orange juice
• 1 tbsp Orange zest
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

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 7

While the cornbread is baking, prepare the honey-orange glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, orange juice, orange zest, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the cornbread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Using a skewer or toothpick, poke small holes all over the surface of the warm cornbread.

Step 10

Slowly pour the honey-orange glaze over the cornbread, making sure it seeps into the holes and coats the top evenly.

Step 11

Allow the cornbread to cool for an additional 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
