Ingredients:
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Honey or butter, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a round cake pan and set it aside.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Make the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Bake the Cornbread: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with honey, butter, or your favorite topping.
