How to Make Aunt Claire's Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cornmeal and 1 cup milk. Let it soak for 15 minutes to soften the cornmeal and prevent a grainy texture.
  3. Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter to the soaked cornmeal mixture.
  4. Whisk in 1 large egg and 1 cup buttermilk until just combined. Don't overmix!
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
