Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
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 cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or alongside your favorite dishes.
