Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
Other:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the melted butter until the batter is smooth.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

This cornbread can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
For a sweeter cornbread, increase the honey to 1/3 cup.
Substitute almond milk for buttermilk for a dairy-free option.
