Description

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease a baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these together until evenly mixed.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cornbread.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Transfer the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Drizzle with extra honey if desired to enhance sweetness and serve warm.
Notes
- For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle additional honey on top before serving.
- This cornbread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, and chili, adding a comforting balance to spicy or savory dishes.
- You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative for a lactose-free option.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.
