Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or nonstick spray, 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 medium mixing bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, honey, eggs, and sour cream until smooth and fully integrated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.

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 allow the cornbread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Enjoy warm, topped with butter or honey, or serve as a side with your favorite dish!
