Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then remove it from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup until well combined.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk and eggs together until smooth. Gradually whisk in the butter and maple syrup mixture.
Step 5
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two batches, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
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 in the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm, with extra butter or maple syrup, if desired.
