Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) so that it is hot and ready when the batter is prepared.
Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
Mixing the Ingredients
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Baking
Pour Batter into Pan
Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared baking pan or skillet, spreading it evenly.
Bake
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.
Cool and Serve
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, cut into squares and serve warm.
