Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of 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 a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and melted butter.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the greased baking dish or skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.

Step 9

Slice into squares or wedges and serve warm with butter, honey, or alongside your favorite dishes.
