Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or a similarly sized cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar until fully combined.

Step 3

Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the buttermilk and baking soda, mixing well.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yellow cornmeal, and salt. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing just until everything is fully combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Stir in the honey and vegetable oil for added moisture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the cornbread to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm with butter, honey, or as a side to your favorite Southern dishes.
