Dry Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or cast-iron skillet.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey, if desired.
