Classic Cornbread

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal, fine ground, not cornmeal mix
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup neutral oil or melted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk, or milk substitute like almond milk

Directions

1. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or square baking dish or cast iron skillet well and set aside. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine well.
3. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your oil or butter, milk, and egg. Stir just until the mixture comes together and there are only a few lumps remaining.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Serve hot.
