Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 units Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons Chopped scallions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions to add the savory elements to the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your Sweet and Savory Cornbread warm, either plain or paired with butter or honey!
