Ingredients
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until fully blended.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix the batter.
Step 4
Lightly grease a microwave-safe dish or bowl (approximately 6 inches in diameter) with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Step 6
Microwave the dish on high for 3 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Step 7
If the cornbread is not fully cooked, microwave in additional 15-second intervals until done.
Step 8
Let the cornbread cool slightly in the dish before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with butter or honey!
