Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with vegetable oil or butter, making sure to coat the sides evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing; it’s okay if a few small lumps remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
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.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges or squares. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping.
