My best cornbread recipe! This lightly sweet, moist cornbread is easy to make. It's a delicious side dish for any soup or chili.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup cornmeal, spooned and leveled
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter or neutral oil, plus more for the pan
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, and honey.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the top springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
