Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
• 2 Large eggs
• 1/4 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey (if using) until smooth.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread 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 in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or your favorite topping.
