Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.25 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan 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 until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using 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 slicing and serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
