Measuring cups

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour 250g
1 cup cornmeal 120g
1 teaspoon salt 5g
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2g
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2g
1 cup buttermilk 240ml
1 large egg 50g
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (30g)
Honey Or sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or cake pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Tips:

Use buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using.
Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a dense cornbread.
If you want a crispy crust, bake the cornbread in a cast-iron skillet or a ceramic dish.
Experiment with add-ins like diced jalapeños, cheese, or herbs for extra flavor.
