Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with vegetable oil or butter, making sure to coat the sides evenly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing; it’s okay if a few small lumps remain.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges or squares. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping.
