Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks, sliced thinly Green onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, and sliced green onions until evenly mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
