Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and free of lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and honey until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cornbread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with additional butter or honey if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter for tender cornbread.
  • For extra sweetness, add an extra tablespoon of honey or sugar.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be wrapped tightly and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, or frozen for longer storage.
  • Feel free to add corn kernels or diced jalapeños for a flavor boost.
