Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional for greasing or serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Step 9
Serve warm with a pat of butter, or enjoy on its own. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
