Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 unit egg (large)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch square 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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter has a few small lumps.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top 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 from the oven and let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Optional: Drizzle additional honey over the top before serving for extra sweetness.
