Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the Johnny Cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread for a delicious treat.
