Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round cake pan with the vegetable oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until thoroughly blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but evenly moistened.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes.
Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm as a side dish to soups, stews, or fried chicken.
