Equipment

  • Measuring cup
  • Measuring spoon
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking dish
  • Food spray
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
  • Stir well.
  • In a different mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, honey, and vegetable oil. Stir well.
  • Then combine the wet and the dry ingredients in a single bowl.
  • Put into the baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Let your cornbread cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Not moist enough? — Did your cornbread turn out dry? The answer to this quandary is fairly simple, I tried using butter along with vegetable oil. Butter will not only keep your cornbread moist, but it will also provide a stronger, deeper flavor to your dish. If combining butter with oil won’t do it for you, simply swap the two. Another solution would be to add a simple scoop of sour cream to the mix.
 
  • Have patience — Famous Dave’s cornbread recipe makes it clear that it should be rested at least 15 minutes before serving. Now, I know that might be a hard task considering the delicious smell and the look, but resting is an important part of the recipe. This will allow the cornbread to cook completely, especially the middle parts, resulting in a complete dish.
