- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and vegetable oil. Pour the milk mixture into the center of the well and whisk until smooth.
Grease a 9x11 inch baking pan with a little oil and pour the cornbread batter into the pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until fluffy and slightly golden around the edges.
When you take the cornbread out of the oven, coat it with 3 tablespoons of honey and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Cut into slices and serve.
- Sugar Adjustments: Use less sugar or skip the honey for a savory version.
- Crust Texture: Use a dark or cast-iron pan for a darker crust.
- Tangy Twist: Swap milk with buttermilk for a tangy taste.
- Mix-In Ideas: Add bacon, onions, bell peppers, or jalapenos for extra flavor.
- Serve Cornbread with Butter or Cinnamon Cream.
- To Make Cinnamon Cream, combine 3 tablespoons of cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir and serve with cornbread.
