Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the whole milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Mix until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
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 into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite dish. Enjoy!
