Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized cast iron skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, honey, and egg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
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.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, a drizzle of honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
