Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix the batter.
Lightly grease a microwave-safe dish or bowl (approximately 6 inches in diameter) with butter or non-stick spray.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Microwave the dish on high for 3 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
If the cornbread is not fully cooked, microwave in additional 15-second intervals until done.
Let the cornbread cool slightly in the dish before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter or honey!
