Ingredients

1 c. flour
1 c. yellow cornmeal
1/4 c. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 c. heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c.melted butter, olive oil, or vegetable oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°.  Greased 9 inch square pan. Or, we use a cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom.  Slide the cast iron skillet into the oven while the oven is preheating, and you're mixing the batter together. Then carefully remove the skillet when the batter is ready to pour.

In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk, until they are light, fluffy and a pale yellow color. Add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla, melted butter and honey.  Mix thoroughly with a whisk.  

Pour the egg mixture in the well of the dry ingredients.  Stir only until the flour is moistened. 

Pour into prepared pan or skillet,

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
