How to Make Basic No Fail Cornbread

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool slightly before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
