Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 pieces large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similarly sized cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter has small lumps.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the back of your spoon or 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 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
