Ingredients
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
1/3 cup honey
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and place a cast iron skillet inside to heat.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, honey, and melted butter until smooth.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Remove hot skillet, grease it, and pour in the batter evenly.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
Use a hot cast iron skillet for the best crispy edges.
Make sure all wet ingredients are room temperature to avoid curdling.
Don’t overmix the batter — a few lumps keep it tender.
