Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan or a 9-inch round pan with nonstick spray or butter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and honey (if using) until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
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
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
