Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for the cornbread to bake properly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth and fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Pour into Baking Dish

    Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake

    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 in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm.
