Ingredients
- 120 grams all-purpose flour

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized skillet.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together until evenly distributed.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture and stir just until no dry spots remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley (if using).
Step 6
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
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 8
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. This cornbread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or a drizzle of honey for a contrast of flavors.
