1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot when the cornbread is ready to bake.
2
Grease the Baking Pan
Lightly grease a small baking dish or an 8-inch square pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
4
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
5
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

6
Pour Batter into Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
7
Bake the Cornbread
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
