Cornbread
Description
The cornbread uses yellow cornmeal soaked in whole milk to hydrate the grain for a tender texture. Mixing cornmeal with all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt balances sweetness and leavening. The addition of a large egg binds ingredients and contributes to the moist crumb. Melted unsalted butter enriches the batter, enhancing flavor and tenderness.
After combining ingredients, the batter is poured into a greased 8x8-inch pan and baked at 400°F for about 22 to 25 minutes. The baking time is measured by inserting a toothpick, which should come out clean when the cornbread is fully cooked. The high temperature encourages a golden crust while keeping the interior soft and moist.
This classic cornbread works well as a side dish for soups, chilies, or barbecue. Its balance of slightly sweet and savory makes it versatile for various meals.
