Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (115g) honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk the yellow cornmeal, all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until no clumps remain.
  3. In a separate jug or small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, honey, eggs, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges have pulled away slightly from the sides of the pan and the top is a deep mahogany gold.
  7. Insert a toothpick into the center until it comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
