Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place a 9-inch oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) in the oven to heat while preparing the cornbread batter.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, egg, and honey until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Carefully remove the preheated skillet from the oven using oven mitts and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

Add the tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet, swirling it around until melted and the skillet is coated.

Step 8

Spray any exposed portions of the skillet with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Pour the cornbread batter into the hot skillet, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cornbread cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 8 wedges and serving.
