Sweet Cornbread at Home

Mastering the Art of Making Sweet Cornbread at Home!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or a similar-sized skillet.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey if using.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan or skillet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
7. Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing.
