Ingredients

• 1 cup blue cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or additional melted butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round cast-iron skillet with vegetable oil or melted butter, and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blue cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey (if using).

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's fine if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 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 allow the cornbread to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
