Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the cornbread.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

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

  5. 5

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, fold in honey, chopped jalapeños, or shredded cheddar cheese to the batter for additional flavor.

  6. 6

    Prepare Baking Dish

    Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking oil to prevent sticking.

  7. 7

    Pour Batter

    Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Baking

  1. 8

    Bake the Cornbread

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  2. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally with butter or honey.
