Classic Southern Cornbread

Ingredients

• •1 cup cornmeal
• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1/4 cup granulated sugar
• •1 tablespoon baking powder
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1 cup whole milk
• •1 large egg
• •4 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F and place a greased 9-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat.
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. 3In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
4. 4Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
5. 5Carefully pour the batter into the hot skillet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. 6Cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

💡 Cornbread should go into a fully heated pan if you want crisp edges; a cold pan gives a soft crust even when the centre bakes perfectly.
