Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • ⅔ cup cornmeal
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ⅓ cup oil
  • 1 cup milk plus up to 1/4 cup more if needed
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F for a golden crust, or 350°F for a softer top.
  • In one bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  • In another bowl, mix oil, milk, honey, melted butter, and eggs.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients just until mixed. Add a splash more milk if the batter seems too thick.
  • Pour into a greased 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Optional: brush the top with a little extra butter straight from the oven. Let rest a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a bit more honey over the top after baking, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of jam.
