Easy Savoury or Sweet Cornbread

Easy Savoury or Sweet Cornbread 

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup half-and-half

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup melted butter, or shortening

1/4 cup honey, optional

1/4 cup sugar, optional

Steps to Make It

Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare a 9 x 9-inch baking dish or pan with cooking spray or butter and flour.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the half and half, eggs, melted butter, and honey and sugar if using.

Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and mix just until the flour is moistened, no more than 10 to 15 seconds. The batter should be visibly lumpy; do not overmix.

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake the cornbread immediately.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edge of the bread starts to pull away from the pan.

Cool for about 10 minutes, then remove ​it from the pan. Let it cool for 5 more minutes on a rack, and serve as soon as possible.

Enjoy!
