Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until well combined. This dry mixture will form the base of the corn bread.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add in the melted unsalted butter, honey, and buttermilk. Mix these wet ingredients until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the bread stays tender.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the corn bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite low-sodium spread or alongside a hearty meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
