Ingredients

• 1 cup white cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet with the vegetable oil and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it 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 allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

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