Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy but fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

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 from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with a pat of butter, drizzle of honey, or on its own as a sweet treat!
