Description
This cornbread is a delicious and easy recipe perfect for any meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (Can be substituted with a gluten-free blend.)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (Optional)
- 1 cup milk (Can use a non-dairy alternative.)
- 2 large eggs (At room temperature for best results.)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil (Or use melted butter for richer taste.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or round skillet with oil or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using) until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, with your favorite toppings or alongside a hearty main dish.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature eggs.
- Feel free to experiment with different toppings or sides.
