Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and beaten eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, slice into squares and serve warm.
