Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then remove it from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk and eggs together until smooth. Gradually whisk in the butter and maple syrup mixture.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two batches, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm, with extra butter or maple syrup, if desired.
