Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.6667 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.3333 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for additional sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey (if using).
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
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 into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or your favorite topping.
