1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure the cornbread bakes evenly.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
3
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
4
Combine Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5
Prepare Baking Dish
Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
6
Bake the Cornbread
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool and Serve
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey, if desired.
