Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square pan or a 9-inch round pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and the egg until thoroughly blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 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 allow it to cool for a few minutes in the pan before slicing it into squares or wedges. Serve warm with butter, honey, or as a side dish.
