Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Yellow cornmeal
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 80 grams Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan or a similar-sized cast-iron skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the dried cranberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan or skillet 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 from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with butter, honey, or even a dollop of whipped cream for a sweet treat!
