📋 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal 🌽
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar 🍬
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder 🥄
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
  • 1 cup milk 🥛
  • 2 large eggs 🥚
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil 🛢️
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter 🧈
  • 1/4 cup honey (optional for extra sweetness) 🍯

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Pan:

  1. Preheat:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. 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:

  1. Transfer to pan:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  1. 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:

  1. 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.

🍽️ Tips:

  • Additions: Mix in 1/2 cup of corn kernels, diced jalapeños, 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.
