  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter (or oil), and honey (if using).
  • Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; take care not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
