Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and beaten eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, slice into squares and serve warm.
