Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Agave nectar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 units Large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, agave nectar, whole milk, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
