Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted, divided
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions

  • Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet well and set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine well.
  • Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your oil, milk, and egg. Stir just until the mixture comes together add half the melted butter (¼ cup) and stir to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Mix the remaining melted butter and honey in a small bowl. While the cornbread is still hot, use a pastry brush to soak the cornbread in the butter-honey mixture.  
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
