Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Corn grits
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn grits, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir just until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix—small lumps are fine.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake 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 for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
