Cornbread Recipe
This moist cornbread recipe is quick to make, uses simple ingredients, and is a perfect side dish for soups or chili.
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- ¾ cup Cornmeal
- ½ cup Granulated white sugar
- 3 teaspoons Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon Onion powder (optional)
- ¾ cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches temperature by the time you’re ready to bake.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add milk, eggs, and vegetable oil to the dry mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly butter an 8"x8" baking dish. Pour the batter into the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the Cornbread: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 22–25 minutes. Check if it’s done by inserting a knife—it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve with butter and honey for that perfect touch.
Notes
- Over-mixing the batter can lead to tough bread.
- Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven’s temperature is accurate.
- Add chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne for spice. Wrap leftovers tightly to keep fresh.
