Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup oil (canola or olive)
  • 1 cup milk (whole or low-fat)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Add the melted butter, oil, milk, honey, and egg to the dry ingredients; mix until smooth but avoid overmixing for a light texture.
  4. Let the batter rest for about 5–10 minutes to allow the cornmeal to soften.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 24–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow cooling in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm with butter or honey.
