Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are perfectly fine.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish, spreading it out evenly 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 slightly in the skillet for 5–10 minutes.
Step 8
Slice into wedges or squares and serve warm. Enjoy with butter, honey, or your favorite topping!
