Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the milk, honey, and melted butter, whisking until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
Step 8
Serve warm with additional butter or honey, if desired.
