- Yield: 9 squares 1x
Ingredients
1 cup cornmeal (yellow or white)
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt (kosher or table)
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degree F. Using butter or non-stick cooking spray, grease a 8-inch by 8-inch pan. (A 9-inch cast iron skillet can also be used for baking.)
Combine all dry ingredients (cornmeal, all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt) in a medium sized bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, melt the butter. Combine melted butter with the egg and milk. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Stir until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Notes
Classic Cornbread is best served on the day it’s baked. This recipe can be used when a boxed mix of cornbread is required. One recipe of Classic Cornbread is about equal to a prepared 8.5-ounce box of store-bought cornbread mix.
For cheesy cornbread, add 1 cup of your favorite shredded cheese. Sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses are yummy add-ins!
