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
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional for greasing or serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm with a pat of butter, or enjoy on its own. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
