Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups Cornmeal
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ¼ cup Butter melted
  • 1 large Egg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • 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.
  • Pour 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 at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Pull from the oven and let cool slightly, then serve warm with butter. Enjoy!
