How to Make Baked Cornbread Sticks

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Generously grease a corn stick pan with vegetable oil. (Tip: Use a pastry brush for even coating)
  3. Place the empty, greased corn stick pan in the preheated oven for 2 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 cup milk.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Remove the hot corn stick pan from the oven.
  8. Fill each section of the corn stick pan about halfway full with batter.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly in the pan before carefully inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!
