Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose 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 vegetable)
  • 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 or round baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix melted butter, oil, milk, honey, and egg until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined—do not overmix!
  5. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to hydrate the cornmeal.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 24–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow cooling for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
