How to Make Canadian Cornbread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a suitable baking tin (8x8 inch square pan recommended).
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Stir in 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
Add 2/3 cup milk and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cornbread cool in the tin for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
