Homemade Cornbread
Report
This Homemade Cornbread combines cornmeal and all-purpose flour with milk, egg, butter, and honey for a moist, slightly sweet loaf. Lightly risen with baking powder and baking soda, it has a tender crumb with a golden crust. Its balance of sweetness and savory notes makes it suitable as a side dish or on its own.
Description
Homemade Cornbread blends equal parts cornmeal and all-purpose flour with leavening agents baking powder and baking soda, plus salt for flavor balance. The wet ingredients include milk or buttermilk, egg, melted unsalted butter, sugar, and honey which add moisture and sweetness.
The batters are combined until just mixed and baked in a greased 8x8-inch pan at 350°F until the top springs back and a toothpick comes out clean. The result is a golden-topped bread with a tender, moist crumb characteristic of classic cornbread.
This cornbread works well alongside soups, chili, or barbecue dishes, and the texture withstands slicing after cooling. Adjust baking time as needed based on oven and pan size.
