Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 unit large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it 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 whole milk, melted butter, honey, and egg until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using 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 cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Enjoy warm or at room temperature with butter or an extra drizzle of honey, if desired.
