Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

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

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Serve

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