Ingredients

Dry ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients:
2 eggs, at room temperature
⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
½ cup plain yogurt (a whole milk greek yogurt works great!)
½ cup milk of choice (cow's milk, oat, cashew or almond milk are great options!)
¼ cup melted butter

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 inch pan or 9 inch skillet or 9 inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: eggs, maple syrup/honey, yogurt and milk. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir with a spoon until it just begins to combine, then stir in the melted butter until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
Bake for 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Serve warm with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey!

BUTTERY CORNBREAD

A friend gave me this cornbread recipe several years ago, and it's my favorite of all I've tried. I love to serve the melt-in-your mouth cornbread hot from the oven with butter and syrup. It gets rave reviews on holidays and at potluck dinners. -Nicole Callen, Auburn, California
