Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon honey, HEAPING
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • To a large mixing bowl, add cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the vegetable oil, melted butter, honey, beaten eggs, and milk, then stir just until moistened. Batter will still have some lumps.
  • Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pour batter into the baking dish and bake in 350-degree oven for 45-55 minutes. Keep a close eye on the cornbread after 45 minutes so that it doesn’t overbake and dry out. Tip: If your cornbread is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to slow down browning, then continue baking until it is cooked through.
  • Remove cornbread from the oven once it is golden brown and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Let cornbread cool in the pan until it is warm, not hot, then cut and serve with butter and honey (optional).
