Cornbread Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

3. 3

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup of melted butter until combined.

4. 4

   Combine Wet and Dry

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it's okay if there are some lumps.

5. 5

   Bake

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. 6

   Cool and Serve

   Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes in the pan before slicing. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spreads.
