Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional for extra sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it 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
Let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
