Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal (or polenta)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (or white granulated sugar)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk shake before measuring
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius | 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place a rack in the middle.
- Butter a 9-inch cast iron pan or a 9-inch square baking dish lightly and heat it in the oven. (Alternatively, cook 1/2 cup unmelted butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until melted, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly before adding to the batter.)
- Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing basin.
- Make a hole in the center of the cake and pour in the milk, honey, and eggs.
- Mix until smooth, then add the melted butter that has somewhat cooled. Remix until everything is well blended.
- Using oven mitts, carefully remove the ‘hot’ pan or dish from the oven and carefully pour the batter into it.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cornbread begins to golden on top (about 20-23 minutes).
- Allow for a 10-minute cooling period before slicing and serving.
