Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 pieces large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch (or 9x9-inch) baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

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 7

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

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread for added flavor.
