Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a 9-inch round pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings!
