Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until fully combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack if desired.
Step 8
Slice and serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
