1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup honey

1/2 cup melted butter

2 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease an 8-inch baking dish or skillet.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, honey, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.

5. Transfer batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top.

6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Let cool slightly, drizzle with honey, and serve warm with butter.

Notes

Use fine or medium-ground cornmeal for the fluffiest texture.

Don’t overmix the batter—gentle folding keeps it tender.
