Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the cornbread.

  2. 2

    Grease the Baking Dish

    Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe skillet with butter or cooking spray.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and honey until thoroughly combined.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Baking

  1. 6

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish. 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.

Cooling

  1. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm, optionally with butter or honey.
