  1. Preheat an oven to 400°F.

  2. Into a medium bowl, sift 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 3 ½ tsp. baking powder. Mix everything together. Make a well in the center and whisk in 1 egg, 1 cup whole milk, ½ cup honey, and ⅓ Vito & Joe’s Olive Oil. Stir well until a smooth batter forms. Let rest 15 to 20 minutes.
