Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup honey
Instructions
- Prepare Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease your 8×8 inch baking dish thoroughly
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In separate bowl, mix milk, eggs, melted butter, and half the honey until well blended
- Combine Mixtures: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, fold gently until just combined – lumps are okay
- Transfer and Top: Pour batter into greased dish, drizzle remaining honey evenly over the surface
- Bake: Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and more even texture throughout the cornbread
- Don’t overmix the batter – a few lumps ensure tender, fluffy cornbread rather than tough, dense results
- Let the cornbread cool for 10 minutes before cutting to prevent crumbling and ensure clean slices
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days and warm briefly in the oven before serving
