Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or muffin tin, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
