Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or cast-iron skillet thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until completely smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Gently fold and stir the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread tough.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve warm with butter, honey, or alongside your favorite main dish. Best enjoyed fresh on the day of baking.
Tips
- Use fresh ingredients: Ensure your baking powder is not expired for the best rise and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Stir just until ingredients are combined to keep the cornbread tender.
- Preheat your pan: For an extra crispy bottom, place your greased pan in the oven while preheating.
- Check for doneness: A golden top and clean toothpick test are your best indicators of perfectly baked cornbread.
- Serve warm: Cornbread is always best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a pat of melting butter.
- Customize your cornbread: Try adding jalapeños, cheese, or corn kernels for a personalized twist!
