Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set aside.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the buttermilk, whole milk, and honey until smooth.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cornbread to cool slightly in the dish for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
