Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 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)
- 0.5 cup Canned creamed corn
- 2 tablespoons Diced green chiles (optional)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Fold in the creamed corn, diced green chiles (if using), and shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter or honey, if desired!
