Traditional Cornbread Recipe
Description
There's something truly comforting about a piece of warm cornbread fresh from the oven. Classic, delicious, and filled with sweet and savory corn flavor, cornbread has a special place in American cuisine. But even if you’ve been eating it all your life, you might not actually know what cornbread is.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups yellow, white or blue cornmeal
- 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan or 9-inch round cake pan with the cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, milk and egg with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
- Add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once; stir just until the flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).
- Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl. Spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm with butter and honey, if desired.
