Prep Time: 20 mins | Total Time: 30 mins | Serves: 9
Ingredients
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 ºC). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be a bit lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 6
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before cutting into squares or wedges. Serve warm, ideally with butter and honey.
