Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a round cast-iron skillet.
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, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and honey until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still have some lumps.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading 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 cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
