Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tbsp vinegar added)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

        Combine The Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter will be somewhat lumpy, which is okay.

          Bake the Cornbread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.

            Prepare Honey Butter: While the cornbread is baking, prepare the honey butter. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with 1/4 cup honey. Mix until smooth and creamy. You can also add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.

              Cool and Serve: Once baking is complete, remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm with the honey butter spread on top.
