Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your cornbread bakes evenly.

  2. 2

    Grease the Baking Pan

    Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and honey until smooth.

  3. 5

    Mix Together

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter may be slightly lumpy.

Baking

  1. 6

    Pour the Batter

    Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
