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!
