Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 piece Large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, honey, and egg. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or as a side to your favorite meal.
