Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, beaten egg, and honey until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out 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 let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

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