Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.75 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons 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
- 1 enough for greasing the pan Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, grated Parmesan cheese, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, 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 from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy as a side dish with soups, chilis, or salads, or savor it on its own!
