THE INGREDIENTS LIST:
1 Cup.Of cornmeal.
1 Cup.Of all-purpose flour.
1/4 Cup.Of granulated sugar.
1 Tbsp.Of baking powder.
1 Tsp.Of salt.
1 Cup.Of milk.
1/4 Cup.Of unsalted butter, melted.
2 large eggs.
PREPARATION:
1st Step
Prepare a 425F (220C) oven. Place a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a 9×9-inch baking dish in the oven to preheat.
2nd Step
Combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing basin. Mix them until they are thoroughly combined.
3rd Step
Put the dry ingredients in a bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour milk, melted butter, and eggs into the bowl. Carefully combine the ingredients with a spatula or wooden utensil, being cautious not to overmix. A few irregularities are acceptable.
4th Step
Remove the skillet or pastry dish from the oven with care. Add a small quantity of butter to the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent cornbread from sticking.
5th Step
In the heated skillet or baking dish, pour the batter. Spread it uniformly and return it to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clear.
6th Step
Before cutting the cornbread into squares or wedges, you should give it a little bit of time to cool down. Warm it up and serve it with a dollop of butter, honey, or your preferred spread.
