Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cornbread.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
  1. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your freshly baked cornbread!

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or a few tablespoons of finely chopped jalapeños to the batter.
