Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for the cornbread.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well blended.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vegetable oil until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. If using, fold in the optional ingredients like cheese, green onions, or bacon.

Baking

  1. 5

    Prepare Baking Dish

    Grease a cast-iron skillet or an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or oil.

  2. 6

    Pour Batter

    Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish, spreading it evenly.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  4. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey.
