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
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a 9-inch round pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings!
