Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round cast iron skillet with vegetable oil or butter, then set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with 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 topping. Enjoy!
