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
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 piece Large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the melted butter, maple syrup, buttermilk, and egg until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly with 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 10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges and serving.
Enjoy warm with a drizzle of extra maple syrup or a pat of butter, if desired.
