Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • medium bowl
  • 9-inch cast iron skillet or 8x8 inch baking dish
  • wooden skewer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Mixing and Baking
  1. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra sweetness, you can add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup to the wet ingredients. A pat of butter on a warm slice of cornbread is highly recommended!
