Homemade cornbread is a soft, slightly sweet, and golden comfort food that pairs perfectly with hearty dishes or can be enjoyed on its own with honey or butter.

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cornbread to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add finely chopped jalapeños to the batter.
  • Cheddar cheese can be added for a cheesy cornbread variation.
  • Replace milk with buttermilk for a tangy flavor.
  • To make vegan cornbread, use plant-based milk and egg substitutes.
  • If you prefer sweeter cornbread, increase the sugar to 1/2 cup.
