Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 piece large egg, lightly beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, melted butter, and beaten egg until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 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 additional butter and honey, if desired. Enjoy!
