Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and place a cast iron skillet or baking pan inside to get hot.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, plain flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey.

  4. 4

    Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined without over-mixing.

  5. 5

    Carefully remove hot skillet from oven, grease with a pat of butter, and pour in the batter immediately.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool for 10 minutes before slicing into warm wedges.

Cornmeal/polenta is coarse-ground dried maize.
