Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter an 8” or 9” baking pan and set aside.
  • In a medium size bowl, whisk to combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 
  • Add the milk, egg and butter. Stir until combined, but do not over stir. Cornbread batter will be slightly lumpy. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Let cornbread rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
