Ingredients

• 175 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Cornmeal
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 250 milliliters Whole milk
• 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, eggs, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 8

Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy it plain, with butter, or drizzle with extra maple syrup for a Canadian-inspired treat.
