Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray an 8x8 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl (flour, cornmeal, white and brown sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cornstarch).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all the other ingredients (butter, eggs, buttermilk, honey, and oil) until completely combined.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk together by hand. Mix until there aren't any pockets of flour, but still slightly lumpy.
  • Pour batter into the 8x8 pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean in the center. Cover the cornbread with tinfoil and rotate 180° halfway through baking so that the top doesn't burn.
  • Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before digging in. Top with some honey and/or butter. Enjoy!
