Easy Homemade Cornbread Recipe
Easy Homemade Cornbread blends yellow cornmeal and all-purpose flour with sugar, baking powder, and salt, combined with milk, egg, and neutral cooking oil. Baked until golden brown, it forms a crusty exterior and tender crumb interior, suitable as a side dish or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal $0.24, yellow
- 1 cup all-purpose flour $0.15
- 1/4 cup sugar $0.20
- 1 Tbsp baking powder $0.24
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 1 cup milk $0.31
- 1 egg $0.27, large
- 1/4 cup neutral cooking oil $0.08, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF and coat the inside of a 9-inch pie plate, cast iron skillet, or 8x8 casserole dish with non-stick spray (or butter for more flavor).
- In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and oil.
- Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir just until everything is moist. Avoid over stirring. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top and edges are golden brown. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.
