Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Honey or maple syrup for drizzling (optional)
Butter for spreading (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized cast-iron skillet with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
