Ingredients 
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2/3 cup local honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil or melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or cast-iron skillet and set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, honey, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
  3. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your oil or butter, egg, and milk. Stir just until the mixture comes together and there are only a few lumps remaining.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Enjoy!
