Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • large bowls
  • whisk
  • wooden skewer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Mixing
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cornbread.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a handful of shredded cheddar cheese or a few chopped jalapeños to the batter before baking. Serve warm with butter and honey, or as a side to chili or barbecue.
