Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Butter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or a 9-inch cast-iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vegetable oil.
Mixing and Baking
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as lumps are acceptable.
  2. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Serving
  1. Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven, brush the top with melted butter, and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or a tablespoon of sugar to the batter. Serve warm with butter and honey, or as a side to chili or soup.
