Servings: 9 people
Calories: 250kcal
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and mix well. In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg and whisk together until the egg is beaten.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a spatula, just until combined—the batter should be just a little lumpy. Pour cornbread batter into a greased 8" x 8" baking dish (or 12 greased muffin tins).
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then serve warm with butter. Enjoy!
