1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or cast iron skillet.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil (or melted butter) until smooth.
4
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5
Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6
Cool and Serve
Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey, if desired.
