Golden Sweet Cornbread is a classic comfort food known for its moist texture and sweet flavor. This delightful bread pairs perfectly with chili, soups, or can be enjoyed on its own as a snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: 1/4 cup honey for extra sweetness
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. If using honey, add it to the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or divide it evenly among the muffin cups.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes if using a baking dish, or 15-20 minutes if making muffins, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with few crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly in the pan.
- Serve the cornbread warm. It can be enjoyed with butter, drizzled with honey, or as a side to your favorite meals.
