Rustic Cornbread with Cheddar and Scallions

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.
