Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.25 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using 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 the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
