Easy Cornbread
Description
The recipe begins by whisking dry ingredients including flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Wet ingredients— buttermilk, melted butter, oil, and beaten eggs—are combined separately then mixed into the dry ingredients, producing a lumpy but well-incorporated batter. Frozen corn kernels are folded in last for texture and sweetness.
The batter is poured into a greased 8x8-inch pan and baked at 400°F until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. After cooling briefly, the cornbread is cut into squares for serving. The addition of corn kernels enhances the classic cornbread texture and flavor.

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal coarse

- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- 3 tablespoons canola oil or vegetable oil

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, oil, and eggs. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Stir in the corn kernels. Pour batter into prepared pan.
