Servings: 8

Ingredients

Cornmeal
1 cup
All-purpose flour
1 cup
Baking powder
1 tablespoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Eggs
2, large
Buttermilk
1 cup
Honey
2 tablespoons
Butter
1/4 cup, melted
Sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup, shredded
Scallions
1/2 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, honey, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing into wedges and serving warm.
