Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat buttermilk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Pour batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 20-22 minutes until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While hot, brush the top with melted butter mixed with honey, then let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
