Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet with the vegetable oil and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish or skillet, 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 the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
