Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (like vegetable or canola oil)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a greased 9-inch round or square baking pan in the oven to warm up.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg together until smooth, then stir in the melted butter and oil.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Carefully remove the warmed baking pan from the oven and pour the batter evenly into it. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Let the cornbread cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping!
