  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter; melted

  • In a medium bowl mix together the melted butter, oil, milk, eggs and honey until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until all of the ingredients are mixed together.
  • Add the cornbread batter to a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes or until edges are golden brown. To be sure the cornbread is baked, insert a toothpick in the center and make sure it comes out clean, not wet.
