Homemade Cornbread
Description
Homemade Cornbread blends cornmeal soaked briefly in milk with flour, granulated and brown sugar, salt, and baking powder to create a balanced batter. The addition of vegetable oil and a large egg ensures moistness and cohesive texture. Baked in a 9x9-inch dish at 400°F, the cornbread develops a golden crust and a tender crumb inside, with sweetness modulated by the combined sugars.
The texture is soft yet firm enough to hold slices well after cooling on a rack. The recipe allows for flexible serving options: alongside chili or soups as a savory side, or topped with honey or maple syrup for a sweeter experience.
The bread rests after baking to set fully before slicing, helping preserve its texture. This recipe yields a loaf suitable for family meals or casual gatherings where cornbread complements hearty dishes.
