Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or skillet with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with the spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool slightly in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings!
