Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk (preferably whole or 2%)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl or large microwave-safe mug, lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the cornbread dense.
Transfer the batter into the prepared microwave-safe bowl or mug, filling no more than 2/3 full to allow space for the cornbread to rise during cooking.
Microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, checking at the 3-minute mark. The cornbread is done when the top looks firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Carefully remove the bowl or mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving.
Optional: Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam for added flavor.
