Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 pieces large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch 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.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading 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 cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter, and enjoy!
