Ingredients

  • 1 cup Corn grits
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.25 cups Whole milk
  • 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn grits, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir just until the batter comes together. Be careful not to overmix—small lumps are fine.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake 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 for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
