Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup sweet corn kernels (frozen, fresh, or canned & drained)
- 0.75 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (do not overmix).
Fold in the sweet corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or enjoy as is!
