- 2 tablespoons melted butter π§
- 1/4 cup honey (optional for extra sweetness) π―
π Instructions:
1. Prepare the Oven and Pan:
- Preheat:
- Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- Combine dry ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- Combine wet ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vegetable oil, melted butter, and honey (if using) until smooth.
4. Combine and Mix:
- Mix batter:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Bake:
- Transfer to pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Serve:
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a pat of butter on top, if desired.
π½οΈ Tips:
- Additions: Mix in 1/2 cup of corn kernels, diced jalapeΓ±os, or shredded cheese for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Make it dairy-free: Substitute milk with almond milk or another non-dairy milk, and use oil instead of butter.
