Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon extra butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter and set it aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, and large egg until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, 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 of the cornbread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Ham and Cheese Cornbread Supreme as a savory side dish or a meal on its own.
