Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. -
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined. -
Combine Mixtures:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. -
Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve:
Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, with butter or honey if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, try adding corn kernels, jalapeños, or cheese to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container; cornbread can also be frozen for up to three months.
