Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the Johnny Cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread for a delicious treat.
