Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow 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 and slightly cooled
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for additional sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or butter a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or an 8x8-inch baking dish.

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, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey (if using).

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter can be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish, spreading it out 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 cornbread from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite accompaniments. Enjoy!
