Cornbread Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3. 3

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. 5

   Pour Into Baking Dish

   Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   Cool and Serve

   Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm.
