Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and eggs until fully blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading 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 at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 8
Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite toppings, such as honey or jam.
