Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and honey. Mix until fully combined.

  3. 5

    Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.

Baking

  1. 6

    Pour the Batter

    Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  3. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
