Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil and set it aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the whole milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite dish. Enjoy!
