Enhanced with a hint of honey for optional sweetness, it’s baked to perfection in just 20 minutes. Whether prepared in a cast-iron skillet for a traditional feel or an easy 8x8-inch pan, this quick recipe offers a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with hearty stews, barbecue, or a drizzle of butter. Perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday gatherings, this all-American cornbread is sure to be a hit at your table.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or a similar sized cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
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.
Allow the corn bread to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving. Serve warm with butter or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
