Homemade Cornbread

homemade cornbread in a 9x9 baking dish with a slice cut out topped with a pat of butter
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  20 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine cornmeal, (see Note)
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large large egg, at room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F with a rack in the center position. Grease and lightly flour a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, honey, egg, sour cream, and milk until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
  5. Let cool slightly before serving.
