Ingredients
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Brush with more melted butter and drizzle with extra honey if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
For extra moist cornbread, use whole milk and don’t overbake—check at the 20-minute mark.
Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar, corn, or jalapeños for a flavorful twist.
Store leftovers airtight at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
