1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or a cast-iron skillet.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
4
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter may be lumpy.
5
Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6
Cool and Serve
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing into 9 pieces. Serve warm with butter if desired.
