Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or an 8x8-inch square baking dish inside the oven to heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing. The batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Carefully remove the heated skillet or baking dish from the oven. Grease it with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

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 8

Allow the cornbread to cool in the skillet or dish for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping!
