Corn Bread

Whenever we have red beans and rice or GUMBO ... We usually have it with corn bread. Sometimes I mix it up and add a can or cream of corn, sliced jalapeño or 1 C cheese...  This time I made a plain but delicious batch. 

Ingredients: 

2 C yellow cornmeal

2 C all-purpose flour

1 C (white) sugar

2 TBS  baking powder

1 TBS  salt

2 C  whole milk

1/2 C unsalted butter, melted (1 stick) 

1/2 C honey

4 eggs 

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. 

2. In large bowl, whisk cornmeal with flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until combined. Set aside.

3. In medium bowl, whisk milk with melted butter, honey and eggs until combined. 

Add milk mixture to cornmeal mixture, and  to stir until just combined. Don't over stir. 

4. Transfer batter to prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. 

****Let corn bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Spread a little butter or drizzle with more honey!!
