Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a seasoned 9-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven using oven mitts and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, swirling to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet.
Immediately pour the cornbread batter into the greased skillet. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly if needed.
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 skillet from the oven and let the cornbread cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite accompaniment.
