Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 175 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Cornmeal
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy it plain, with butter, or drizzle with extra maple syrup for a Canadian-inspired treat.
