INGREDIENTS

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup flour*

1 cup milk

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon honey

4 teaspoons baking powder

Sea salt

¼ cup vegetable oil

½ stick of unsalted butter, softened

½ teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400º.

Mix all ingredients (except honey, butter and sea salt) together in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Grease and flour your pan(s). Place batter in pan(s) and let sit for 20 minutes before baking. Your batter will rise a bit and get bubbly - that's all that baking powder doing it's thing!

IF you are adding berries, coat them lightly in flour (so they don't sink to the bottom of the batter) then stir to incorporate into batter.

How long you bake this perfect cornbread depends on what kind of pan you are using, so read carefully:

Loaf pan: Bake 30 minutes or until tester comes out clean.

Muffins: Bake 15-20 minutes until tester comes out clean.

9x9 pan or similar: Bake 20-25 minutes or until tester comes out clean.

While your cornbread masterpiece bakes, combine butter and honey together, place in a small ramekin and top with sea salt.

Slather it all over warm bread and serve!
