Description

A classic homemade cornbread that is sweet, moist, and perfect as a side or snack.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (or oil)
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8″ square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey (if using).
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
