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!
